Any contributions you make to yourself are actually moot. So it's best to contribute to something that people other than yourself can benefit from.
Especially the next generations.
That's a pathetic argument. If my life is finite, then the only thing important here is my life. All the contributions to all that other crap would no longer matter to me once I'm dead. Nothing will matter to me once I'm dead. So, after my end, all these other things are going to be as moot as the contributions to myself.
