These “meta-values” you mention are just values applied to appraisal of values. So in these terms it’s possible to have values about meta-values and to value change in meta-values. Value drift becomes instrumentally undesirable with greater power over the things you value, and this argument against value drift is not particularly sensitive to your values (or “meta-values”). Even if you prefer for your values to change according to their “natural evolution”, it’s still useful for them not to change. For change in values to be a good decision, you need to see value drift as more terminally valuable than its opportunity cost (decrease in value of the future according to your present values, in the event that your present values undergo value drift).

Yep. But I note that many people seem to value letting their values drift somewhat, so that needs to be taken into account.
