Well first of all, I didn't say anything about [biological] evolution, perhaps social evolution, or growth.

Right after making that post I considered editing it to say that, at the very least, as you say Snapshot, money will become less susceptible to corruption.
First, (in my pretty picture of the future of human social evolution) money will be cleaned up; meaning that usery, and loan sharking will end. You should not be making money off of just having money, that is wrong. And as much as it is hard for our society to accept that (certainly I benefit enormously from my parents investments and using other peoples money) because of how it benefits us, I feel it is necessary to make human existence together 'fair'. My definition of money, or ideal use for money, would be as the common lubricant which allows humans to easily trade with one another. No more than that. In this view, everyone would contribute, and work for a share, which allots them that much social value (society has decided a job is worth, 80k units of value/money a year), and in a way (more truthful then today) it would be true to say that rich folks are more valuable to society.

But I do think, in a time hard for us to imagine, that we will move beyond money. The world will become close, so close and aware of one another, because of speed of travel and communication and understood shared values of good lives, that money will cease to be important. People will be born into a world where everyone takes part, and everyone is looked after, because its the human thing to do. People will not want to 'freeload', because taking part (working) will be enjoyable and a group experience of bettering our world together and sustaining happy life for all. Taking part will be the best choice because it will be life, you will be alive when you take part and not recessing into a static being. Everyone will be looked after by no one in particular (ie government) but just by everyone else, because looking after one another and making sure everybody takes part, is a part of working and taking part of human sustainment.

We will all celebrate life and survival together, and recognize that we are 'one team', and because we are all one team we will show our fellows love, as one loves oneself, and overcome challenges with joy together. The paradigm will be so radically different from todays, that to not take part in the collective work will not be viewed as freeloading, but as an illness that needs treating, as something that deserves sympathy and understanding. People will know almost instrinsically in this paradigm that taking part in our collective sustainment is the way to life and love and everyone will be largely aware of everyone else.

I am sort of just rambling now, but I hope you get the picture, the feeling I am trying to convey, and understand why I think this is not only possible, but the certain eventual outcome for our people and this planet. As Bill Hicks says, eventually we will live in peace and explore outer space together forever.
