Description

Video games excel at giving us things to do-- the whole notion of quests is really well constructed and manages to create a sense of meaning, responsibility, reward, and urgency. (Plus, we're all so conditioned by now to respond well to this...) I wish life "jobs" had more of that. In particular, there's a large amount of work that is primarily -- or could be -- done by contractors.

Maybe we could turn job postings into handing out Quests with clear rewards. And they could weave the storyline of our times, our world, our problems, and our efforts.
