I liked the term Computational Kindness a lot! Thanks.
BTW, in the example you give for it and analogous situations it is, in addition, totally inefficient: you know your environment, what is worth visiting/doing and so on, so it is relatively easy to pick the day’s program. The visitor, who doesn’t know this environment will have a much harder time finding it out. So, it not only “offloads all the effort of coming up with ideas and making decisions to the other person”, it greatly increases this effort. I think it is important to note this as well.
Good point. I guess one could come up with examples that have less of this inefficiency but still are “computationally unkind”. Although in the end, there’s probably some correlation between these concepts anyway. So thanks for adding that. 👌
