Putting aside immediate family and personal security, what is the most worthwhile cause you could pursue in life?

I have yet to find a worthwhile cause to pursue

Maybe finding funny ways to kill myself

After achieving your dream of faster internet, it doesn't surprise me that you're experiencing a period of existential dread.

Maybe you should set your sights on even faster internet?

Go the Bill Murray route and just relive one day over and over so you can experiment until you find the funniest way.

Release a new black death world wide.

I wonder how many people actually have that ability.

Most if not all first world nations have the ability. I don't think many people would willingly and preemptively unlease something that would kill billions. A larger percent would given the right circumstances.

Said like a true voater, though the question is broader than what you seem to be implying. For example, I suspect some consider furthering human knowledge to be a higher calling, though the benefits to others are very questionable. Meditating in solitude in order to gain a better understanding of ones own mind, or working to preserve another species on the brink of extinction are others.

Not much difference between your motivations and that of an animal are there? Maybe intelligence has an optimum level, enough to confer a biological advantage, but not so much that we start distracting ourselves with philosophy.

Edit: You should find yourself a country with good social security benefits and pump out double-digit children.
