An awareness of the context-sensitivity of our desires only leads me to value novelty (diversity on a personal-experience level). Not only do I expect some drift, I intend to enjoy it.
I haven’t thought about how I’d like protection against black-holes of desire to be implemented. It’s easy to imagine some hypothetical future-me resenting a growing novelty-itch I committed to.
Since I expect my preference for novelty to inform CEV, if you’re making an argument against CEV that might persuade me, it must be that the optimization problem is too hard—that the result will either deny unexpected pleasures that could have otherwise been reached, or that the pull of expected pleasures will be stronger than expected and lead to a fixed state (violating our present belief in our preference for novelty).
