Internet: Built to insure government structure would survive nuclear attack. Not greed, something much worse: lust for power.

Are you sure? Wasn't it built around scientific research (CERN) and Military communications? 'Government structure' as in social security, taxes, police etc are as rigid as banks in adopting new technology.
"Government structure" is not the social programs, nor even the police force. That's just the stuff they provide to keep you from shoving their heads in nooses. Government structure is the chain of command. And that is what the internet was built to maintain.

Greed is humanity's natural desire to better themselves. Sometimes financially.
That's not greed. Reacquaint yourself with the definition ASAP.
True. Greed is (for me) the desire to better yourself while [not caring about] worsening others
No, that's irresponsible greed.
