I don’t know, but individual differences do exist (the existence of masochistic people should prove that)
But is that relevant to the question that CEV tries to answer? As far as I know, most masochistic people don’t also hold a belief that everybody should be masochistic.
Even if individual differences in fundamental goals are not extended to other people as imperatives, they imply that the ability of a coherent extrapolated volition scheme to satisfy individual preferences must be limited.
Depending on the size of those differences, this may or may not be a big deal. And we’re very likely to have fundamental social goals that do include external imperatives, although masochism isn’t one.
