I don't think regret is the concern here... Your future self might be perfectly happy making paperclips. I almost think "not wanting your preferences changed" deserves a new term...Hmm, "pre-gret"?
Upvoted for 'pregret.'
I like to imagine another copy of my mind watching what I'm becoming, and being pleased. If I can do that, then I feel good about my direction.
You will find people who are willing to bite the "I won't care when I'm dead" bullet, or at least claim to - it's probably just the abstract rule-based part of them talking.
