Right. The point is that—under the “infection” analogy—people’s “ultimate” values change a lot less. How much they change depends on the strength of people’s memetic immune system—and there are some people with strong memetic immune systems whose values don’t change much at all.

I’m not sure I follow you.
Are you saying that some agents change their values less often than others (or equivalently, are less likely to acquire “infections”)?
