The only thing technology should be doing is solving the Malthusian catastrophe by getting us to the next planet for life support. That's IT. Money impedes that progress.
That is completely absurd. Greed is all that drives progress. Currency allows the energy of greed to be capitalized into productive energy on the macro scale. Why the hell do you think most great technological breakthroughs throughout history come from military research?
