RE: The golden rule is a flawed heuristic (bad moral rule)
If "good" or "moral" behavior is just a result of the positive emotional state it produces in the minds of those judging it (perception) then how exactly could the golden rule which doesn't take into account other emotional states even be considered a moral heuristic?
Do what you think you'd want done to you? So if you hate yourself then you can treat others as badly as you treat yourself? See how easily the golden rule unwinds?
