That's just a couple poor examples, but how is what this site does an "endeavor towards some larger purpose"?
Not sure I agree with how pH said it but IMO a hobby IS an endeavor into something larger. First step is the hobby level. From there it may or may not move forward. If the hobby is enjoyable one will usually carry on even if no larger purpose is likely. Most of the greatest inventions of all time were hobbies at one point. WC systems included.
