What’s “honest value drift” and what’s good about it? Normally “value drift” makes me think of our axiology randomly losing information over time; the kind of future-with-different-values I’d value is the kind that has different instrumental values from me (because I’m not omniscient and my terminal values may not be completely consistent) but is more optimized according to my actual terminal values, presumably because that future society will have gotten better at unmuddling its terminal values, knowing enough to agree more on instrumental values, and negotiating any remaining disagreements about terminal values.
