This isn't to say that money and talent aren't powerful movers, only that they can be used ineffectively indefinitely if you're not throwing them at good ideas, and it's all too easy to say "welp, I guess that just wasn't enough money/people."

This doesn't seem true to me. Ideas seem common. For every company that makes an idea a success, how many people have had the idea before them and didn't execute it? How many more had the idea but made no attempt to realize it? I've had lots of ideas other people later actualized

That's only part of the problem, though. Sure, everyone can have the idea "let's cure cancer", and execution is the hard part. Other part of the problem is tremendous amounts of talent working on stuff that won't ever create substantial value.

there's no shortage of ideas, what's missing is belief

real progress can only be made through mass delusion. if enough people collectively hallucinate something it becomes real

this seems like a different kind of talent bottleneck, one where talented people with good ideas *are* out there but can't get on board due to vetting and search constraints
-
I've been on both ends. I've had novel projects that have progressed at a snail's pace because I couldn't find mechanical engineers in my social graph + every Twitter celeb crying out for novel ideas (e.g.
@webdevMason) has their inbox overflowing with noise.

Within companies or in general?

Agree the bottleneck isn’t money but disagree on ideas. The people generate the ideas. The bottleneck is people (though at a certain point you need to manage the complexity of too many people)

+1 I'm an idea generator, execution is a key, either you do it your self or you need a team to do it, money is like a magnet to good execution now days.
