“The purpose of life is to do what we want to do...and by doing that, we help others do what they want to.”
– Wayne Shorter
The Game of Life is a vision of evolutionary technology.
It is an augmented reality experience where players are incentivized, through gamification and digital currency, to make bold new choices in real-time and in real life.
The experience is driven by what we call an “engine of complementarity” - a new algorithm that optimizes for the development of a whole system rather than one-sided metrics (like time, attention, capital).
In the game, our development occurs through the awareness and integration of our underdeveloped aspects. The Game of Life continuously points to the other side of our behaviors that are dominant, habituated, and patterned – helping us to make integrated efforts to develop ourselves in new, previously uncomfortable ways.
The experience is highly relational, in that users must interact with other users to develop themselves, and in turn this helps others do the same. As more people play, GoL spontaneously organizes interactions and experiences that help develop all users in their own unique ways.
We will soon be in the Game of Life, playing as ourselves for our personal and collective evolution.
