What are the norms of friendship in a world of free video calls and social updates via FB? What is the honorable way to date in our environment of historically unique dating norms and gender roles? What documented rule set answers those questions for me?

Not no answers, but the answers are debatable and new. It is not obvious to a person of median IQ exactly how to translate old principles to new technologies. Heck, optimal answers are often not derivable a priori from principles - they must be discovered by memetic evolution.

In some areas, yes, top quintile intelligence + having learned first principles well = good answers. (Diet, for example - which deeply harms avg. American). In other areas (use of social media) it takes a community of experimenters & time to derive new answers.
