Most people don't follow it.
The fact that the Golden Rule appears to be universal should be a big clue
Do you know what the Golden Rule is?

Do you know what the Golden Rule is? I assume you are talking about the same one they taught us in Sunday School.
The only other "golden rule" I know of is "he who has the gold makes the rules", but that isn't what people generally mean.

Most people don't follow it. Most people are ignorant of game theory. Since I know that I can't ask forgiveness from mathematics, I follow it religiously.

The fact that the Golden Rule appears to be universal should be a big clue that it is not a uniquely religious concept (or unique to a particular subset of religions, for that matter).

This is really amusing 'trib'.
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?
