In general the platinum rule is a lot better.
The golden rule lead to a lot of problem.
For example the spanish executioner who themselved would have wanted that someone does everything they can to save their own soul, and therefore tried to do the same for muslims.
That included torturing them until they "convert" to christianity.
It is a very dangerous idea to assume that other people want the same things as you, because it leads to intolerans about differences.

My posts generally don't contain medical or legal advice, if you have a problem seek the opinion of an expert Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
