Interesting list! One important cause area that I think may have missed is preventing/avoiding stable longterm totalitarianism.
Toby Ord and Bryan Caplan have both written on this—see “the Precipice” for Ord’s discussion and “The Totalitarian Threat” in Bostrom’s “Global Catastrophic Risks” for Caplan’s.
It may be worth adding these to the list as it seems that totalitarianism is fairly widely accepted as a cause candidate. Thanks for the post as well, lots of interesting ideas and links in here!
