I see our discussion ran off the rails a bit. I expect the greatest concentration of thinkers to be located in our universities. That is the environment that most values thinking over producing, aside from "publish or perish" which is just thinking in the written form.
It is a sad truth that pure industrial research is a shadow of its former self in the USA since the heydays of Bell Labs. I see some current efforts, such as at Google or DARPA grants, but I'm not seeing the same intensity or output, IMO.
