I think your last line was meant to be "beliefs and values" rather than "preferences and values".

And I don't know it's a question of distinguishing beliefs from values, more of a question of whether values are stable. I personally don't think most individuals have a CEV, and even if many do, there's no reason to suspect that any group has one. This is especially true for the undefined group "humanity", which usually includes some projections of not-yet-existent members.

more of a question of whether values are stable.

or question if human values are (objective and) independent of humans (as subjects who could develop)

or question if we are brave enough to ask questions if answers could change us.

or (for example) question if it is necessarily good for us to ask questions where answers will give us more freedom.
