It's good measured by the new values and bad measured by the old ones. What other standards of goodness do we have at our disposal in this problem?

drift is harmful from the perspective of my current values

True. And that drift would be beneficial from the perspective of your new, drifted-to values.

But neither of those statements have any bearing on whether value drift (in general or any specific instance thereof) is good or bad.

Ditto.

Is it possible for you to pick up Alicorn and Ade? The venue being so close to me, it feels like the location's benefit would be wasted if I went to Durham and back! hwc or I could definitely taxi the next meetings that would be closer to Raleigh.

I know this sounds snarky, but it's serious: Are you married?

Ideally a life partner will share many of your values, but no two people share all values, and you'll need to respect the ones that differ. (Even if you're both Bayesian, in area where you have different values/axioms you will not necessarily agree).

And don't worry too much about supernatural beliefs. Just keep trying to make your beliefs correspond to reality, and see where that goes.
