So many structures in life are based around 'not fucking up.' We protect our assets & our dignity as if they mean anything; and yet at the end of the day nobody knows what the fuck is going on.

Those are huge accomplishments - congrats.

My point is that its important to factor motivation into product conception and design. Sure, we could all read wikipedia and articles all day (i mean, we do) - but having measurable "buckets" for our choices make them easier to explain. Hence the entertainment or resume-builder formulas I laid out, which appear to fit your motivational measurements.

I'm definitely aware that there are tons of companies doing amazing things. But I think that people are confusing tools for communication with tools for education, and that the distinction is unfortunately larger than the landscape suggests.

Great point about incorporating behavior though - technology that molds and aids existent behavior is always needed!
