Charlie Rose, journalist, and Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media, chat about media and advertising, including that the future most often happens with crackpots who are pre-startup, not with startups, and that successful enthusiasts are once-in-a-generation.

Rather than the question being "how many of the crackpots will become the people who change the world" (eg. Zuckerberg), but..
"How many of the people who have (or will) change the world are crackpots (or at least have that background) compared to more traditional work styles?"

Really great interview. I admire both these guys immensely and it's interesting to see them struggle to reconcile such a complex set of ideas. It ain't too pretty, but out of arguments come revelations.
