It’s a convergent instrumental goal to preserve one’s values. If you change your goals / values, you will generally achieve / fulfill them less.
Value-drifting someone else might be positive for you, at least if you only consider the first-order consequences, but it generally seems pretty unvirtuous and uncooperative to me. A world where value-drifting people is socially acceptable is probably worse than a world where it’s not.

The current world is pretty accepting of value drift if you drift towards something good.
Everyone who joins EA has drifted away from another set of values!
if by “something good” you mean “something altruistic”, then yes I agree. it’s good for someone when others become altruistic towards them.
