If you take space exploration and anything to do with preventing or lowering suffering (eg stopping climate change or curing cancer or eliminating hunger) off the table, what’s at the top of your list as a worthwhile civilizational ambition?

I feel like you’ve only left hedonism w your exclusions. My preferred variety of hedonism is cerebral physical skill maxxing. Kitesurfing is pretty great but there are probably even cooler activities with better payoffs for mastery we could come up with.

Also, almost all your replies show an ultra narrow view of lowering suffering lol Desal, mind expanding, arguably even the sex-centric variants of hedonism are def more suffering reduction than separate joy creation. More worthy pursuits than my answer, but forbade by the Q imo
