2/So I'm inclined to suspect "core values" are just the values that happen not to have been tested longest in the person's memory. Once the person has incentive to betray the value, they probably will, and then they'll have new core values.

Interestingly, the idea that peoples' preference judgments are worth listening to is a somewhat non-standard idea these days. The reason to question "empiricism the belief" is not so much "maybe science is fake" so much as "when/for whom might empirical truth be bad?"
-
But if "truth" is only a moral/personal and not an ethical/society-wide value, then it is indeed boring to question the use and validity of empirical truth.

I disagree. moral and personal judgments are more salient and more relevant to individuals than ethical and social judgments. in order to have an ethical society we must also have moral individuals.

This claim reads like a more deeply-held "core value" to me than the ones you listed above.
-
it's just a rephrasing.
-
I do not see how "moral & personal judgments are more relevant to individuals than ethical & social judgments" is necessarily a rephrasing of "truth and utility".
-
an individual MUST know the truth and know what relevant actions to take in order to be considered as possessing "good morals", in my view. truth and utility are necessary (and often sufficient) for good morals.
-
Are good morals necessary for everyone? Or merely for certain people?
