Tim generalizes from the Putin's-daughter story to rant about wealthy dilettante children who refuse to accept their privilege and instead chase coolness as artists, DJs, and writers.
- Tim describes wealthy people whose parents are successful spending their lives dabbling in the arts as dilettantes.
- Rich kids all want to be DJs, comedians, writers, and directors instead of accepting what they actually are.
- Tim on the flood of rich kids from NYU who think they have a movie or story everyone needs to hear.
- He imagines a Putin's daughter wanting to be cool as a DJ, arguing he would just accept being his daughter instead.
- The core problem: rich kids refuse to accept they're wealthy and instead create a world where they have important things to say.
- Tim's claim that wealth makes people bland, it dulls and anesthetizes you.
- Most of these rich kids are completely unserious about doing anything; they just want to be cool.
- He questions how empty and hollow the pursuit of being cool is compared to having self-respect.
