Intro quote or short video...
This thesis presents the hypothesis that the aspirational gaming term, “Leveling Up”, meaning to acquire additional power and responsibility through the successful completion of extreme quests, may be applied to reimagining civic engagement.
Leveling up suggests heroic, almost superhuman challenges, as an appropriate description of the efforts needed to decipher so-called wicked problems.
Wicked problems are such that they cannot be resolved with a traditional analytical approach. Existing in a dynamic social context, with no given solutions, every effort to solve a wicked problem creates new complexity.
In contrast to current methods to solve such problems, which have reached a paralysis in institutionalized effectiveness, this thesis will show the capability of an intrinsically incentivised system to create civic value from crowdsourced groups dedicated to improving society as their explicit goal.
