It's just a simple question for tortoise and there is no trick involved. He's making a claim concerning the correlation between the "Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma" and the Golden Rule.

I have no problem if it should turn out to be true. I just suspect it isn't going to, and I think he may be confusing the Golden Rule with something else.

Obviousy you don't really agree that following the golden rule is a rational non-religious behavior, common to most societies of the world Why is that?

Because it isn't common to most societies of the world. Can you articulate it?

Of course I could, but I won't, simply bacause you can't even begin to rebut our point.
Why bother to articulate a rule when you can't even understand the principle involved?

Define it for yourself, then tell us why it's irrational.
