Topic: Value Drift.Facilitator: Shri Samson We’ll discuss "value drift", animportant(and dangerous!) phenomenon that has the potential to significantly affect would-be altruistic people. Value drift is the idea that over time, people’s priorities and moralactions may significantly change. In some cases, this may result inpeople becoming less motivated to help others. This can be due tohaving different values, less dedication to those values, lifestylechanges making altruism more difficult, or a number of other reasons. This has recently garnered attention in the EA forum. http://​​effective-altruism.com/​​ea/​​1ne/​​empirical_data_on_value_drift/​​
