[ExI] Libertarianism wins again...

Perhaps, once we have the bandwidth to communicate with all other
people at more or less the same time, we'll be able to negotiate the
common moral grounds between individual sentient beings. That way, a
broader moral basis doesn't need to be established, just that between
these two specific individuals. So a relationship can escape the
zeitgeist, just as it does now in our most intimate relationships.

Thus, I could agree to disagree with being A on point X, but being B
and I agree on that point, so we know we have that as common ground.
While this is clearly more complex than the modes we work in now, we
will hopefully have the bandwidth to be able to keep track of our
moral basis with each other entity that we deal with.

Morals can change to some extent with different people... A man might
have one moral code of conduct for his wife, and another for his
girlfriend, for example... ;-)
