The problem with New York is people that think that transcendent genius is caged in their mind, a few sentences away from lucratively leaping to the public sphere. It's a generation of people who truly believe that they have something world-altering to say, when really it's just the same 70's bong-water bullshit soaking our collective socks. Work hard or leave, and no, buying a MacBook and launching a blog doesn't count as working. Get a job, shut up, and be someone's bitch for 30 years like our parents had to. Or don't, and try not to act so surprised when you aren't one of the lucky 3 or 4 who actually pull that whole wealthy fameball savant thing off.
