[ExI] The generosity scale & relationships

[John Grigg]

I thought this might prove useful for those in intimate relationships...
But I do think up to a point this is something that people who grew up
attending a church would know.  I remember routinely hearing talks about
how married couples should lovingly go the extra mile for each other on a
very frequent basis.  And if they did so, a happy and solid relationship
would be the end result.  I knew quite a few couples that had been together
for many years (seemingly truly happy) and this was one of their cardinal
rules.


I sometimes wonder about how transhuman and posthuman relationships will
be, and if their superior intelligence will help or hinder them in their
quest for love.
