The best and brightest do not work in finance or management. They become mathematicians, physicists, astrophysicists, chemists maybe also computer science and other areas of research. They are more interested in discovery, than rising through the ranks of management or possession of great wealth. They research in their area of expertise with a passion. Of course they are not all business starters or entrepreneurs. The things society and competition, and law put you through when starting a business could well mean, that these people would never even consider starting a business, because it would take away way too much of their time, which they spend on working on the fringes of human knowledge. They simply don't have the time for such mundane things.
