I disagree with comments attacking a money motive. If you don't want to get rich, than do something significant with your life - if you can, then give the money away or help others in some way. And I don't think you really meant greed or you would have said that, and the essay doesn't say go be greedy.
I also agree strongly with the consequences of fear, and how everyone else seems to be cowering in the corner. I am on the tech train and I have it almost entirely to myself. I recently attended some security functions, and it suddenly hit me how this field is begging for innovation. Of all the products and all the big name providers, it was nothing but me-too and do-it-again in a different package. Everyone I talked to from sales to tech, wanted one thing and one thing only - to play it safe and keep their job.
