I really do hope blockchain technology can help us improve. I agree with you, greed and corruption is slowing if not shutting down our evolution. Because of greed we cannot progress. Our entire economical system is based on regression. For example, instead of building cars that will not need petroleum to run, we continue building cars that run on regular gas because the oil industry wants to continue selling it's Oil so they can continue getting fat.

Next, instead of building durable cars that will not break often (for example, use gold on sensors and use quality material so that things don't break easy and burn out) they build crappy cars with cheap material so that way they can break after 100,000 miles and they can sell more of their cars and there will also be work for mechanics... So there will be "more jobs".

Another example is the pharmaceutical industry and medical industry, instead of curing people we only suppress the symptoms just enough to relieve the pain so you can come back and continue buying it but not enough to cure you because if it did cure you then you will not need to buy it anymore and they will go out of business.

And, another example is the food industry, our food and water is contaminated with all kinds of poisonous chemicals. We eat fake food that is harmful to us. Again, as we know, all this is because a few individuals who want to profit and sit around and do nothing while the rest of the people suffer.

Our politicians are bought by these big corporations to serve their agenda and interests and the entire political system is corrupt to support the greedy corporations (which are run by a few greedy and wealthy individuals) and not the greater good of the human race.

These are only some examples, our entire system is built like that and as you can see it is not built to progress. We are just like parasites leeching on the host (our planet) and then moving on to some other host. This is a primitive way of thinking and doing things. Our civilization will self destruct if we continue this way...
