I think most people lack the fortitude. It's better to sit in silence for a moment and think, and take your time, than to 'check out' into the reward drip novelty as you so well described it.

The next level, for me anyway, is to focus on creating stuff and making a business that contributes to the person who agrees with the above statement, rather than working to create the crap that sustains those who don't.

How could such a perspective be integrated into gamification? In other words where the objective of the game is to make something that doesn't just rake in high profits and make one rich, but sustains and exemplifies an integrated, engaging existence on all levels?
