I disagree—I think you can believe “value drift” exists and also allow your future self autonomy.
My current “values” or priorities are different from my teenage values, because I’ve learned and because I have a different peer group now. In ten years, they will likely be different again.
Which “values” should I follow: 16-year-old me, 26-year-old me, or 36-year-old me? It’s not obvious to me that the right answer is 26-year-old me (my current values).
