Any panel that contains John Cleese, Genesis P-Orridge, Nick Cave, and Bob Dylan should be eminently qualified to tackle all the world's problems. Especially if Milan Kundera and Flea are there.

Unfortunately, the panel also contains Deepak Chopra, Michael Moore, and Matthew Barney .....

Heck, invite ALL the nominees... it's the internets!

Seriously, some really excellent voices there: Fritjof Capra, Wangari Maathi, Tom Robbins... should be a great discussion.
