This guy is great. I love his theory of art and science, especially where he relates scientific discovery to data compression.

Let me add, not only are people paid very little, but they have no ownership (in the legal sense or otherwise) over the company they work for, and have less autonomy, which I believe leads to a less fulfilling work life.

Agreed, a negative result should not be confused with shoddily executed science. A solid methodology that produces a negative result could save other researchers from going down the same rabbit hole to come to the same conclusion. We should record these conclusions. Perhaps maybe part of the problem would be the increase in number of publishable results overloading editors and reviewers?
