Why exactly is Fred changing his preferences? If he's trying to make it so his future preferences are fulfilled, he should change them to preferring the universe to be exactly the way it is. If he's trying to make it so his current preferences are fulfilled, he probably shouldn't change them.
And what's he changing them to? Don't care about cheaply made people?
It seems like people often change their preferences in the real world. Do you think these instances fit your model, or do you disagree that it occurs (for example, are we using different definitions of 'preference')?
