Some humans attempt to self-modify their core desires for instrumental reasons, but if given enough intelligence and resources they likely wouldn’t persist in having this meta-desire.
I think this is overly optimistic. Some people clearly have a core desire for succeeding for the sake of succeeding, and it may cause this self-modification meta-desire to persist.
