I kinda suspect no ethics are future-proof in this sense
Which sense do you mean?
I like Holden’s description:
I expect some readers will be very motivated by something like “Making ethical decisions that I will later approve of, after I’ve done more thinking and learning,” while others will be more motivated by something like “Making ethical decisions that future generations won’t find abhorrent.”
Personally I’m thinking more of the former reason than the latter reason. I think “things I’d approve of after more thinking and learning” is reasonably precise as a definition, and seems pretty clearly like a thing that can be approximated.
