Excuse me?

Oh geez, this is so lame:

"And, you know, we looked for the people with the brilliant ideas of what to do, we didn't find them, . . . "

That's Chris Anderson, the 'curator' of the TED Conference, on "why the biggest financial crisis of our time didn’t have a more prominent place on the TED agenda." (as reported by Steven Levy on his Wired.com blog)

Do you think it even occured to Mr. Anderson to possibly look in places like, say, the Ayn Rand Institute?
