Two great suggestions, Steven. I’ve been going back and forth with a few people about the creativity / money link on twitter, and will seek to clarify a few things in a forthcoming post.

Scientists/artists/intellectuals tend to be driven by the pursuit of knowledge, truth, status or beauty all above the accumulation of wealth. The people driven by money will then commercialize these ideas – there’s lots of examples of this, not least in companies copying YouTube trends.

I do agree that the creative winners will work with people they HATE. I wonder if this approach extends to working in art forms or businesses you HATE also? I remember the artist Grayson Perry saying he was attracted to Pottery because it was so ‘naff’ and hated the environment around it.
