As far as people who instead want the values to change go, they usually have an idea of a good direction for them to change—usually they’re people who are far from the median of society and so they would like society to become more like them.
I have in mind another conjecture: even median humans value humans with values that are, in their minds, at least as moral as median humans, and ideally[1] more moral.
On the other hand, I have seen conservatives building cases for SOTA liberal values being damaging to the minds or outright incompatible with sustaining the civilisation (e.g. a too big part of Gen Z women being against motherhood). In the past, if some twisted moral reflection led to destructive values, then the values were likely to be outcompeted.
The third option is a group of humans forsibly establishing their values[2]versus another system of values compatible with progress is considered amoral.
So I think that people are likely to value the future with values which keep the civilisation afloat and can be accepted upon thorough reflection on how the values were reached and on the values’ consequences.
The degree of extra morality which humans value can vary between cultures. For example, we less value the reasons which caused people to enter monasteries, but not the acts like sustaining knowledge.

Or values that they would like others to follow, but in this case the group is far easier to denounce as manipulators.
