The arts are full of egomaniacs who produce, in the end, zippity doo dah. The arts are full of egomaniacs eager to enrich themselves by the labor of the thousands of wannabees who will never ever make a living at it and will, in these enlightened times, possibly leave themselves in debt slavery rather than simple penury. The arts are full of purveyors and consumers of substances both stimulative and deleterious to the brain.
Compared to that, I'll take one Silicon Valley egomaniac any day.
