An interesting thing to note is that, intuitively, it feels like a lot of humans are indifferent about many of their own values. E.g. people know that their values will probably change as they age, and many (though definitely not all) people just kind of shrug their shoulders about this. They know that their values at age 80 are likely to be quite different than their values at age 18, but their reaction to this thought is neither "yay changing values" nor "oh no how can I prevent this", but rather a "well, that's just the way it is".
