618. 618livermorium rule / Judge the moral valence of ideologies that have not been realized by their most likely results if they ever had been been realized into a stable state / Do not do what it would be possible that others should not do unto you -> this is verging on deontology but it doesn't quite go there because it doesn't focus on intended results specifically and instead tries to sketch out a plausible real situation so the consequences can be judged through the range of various forms of ethics that exist for real situations.

13032. 13032germanium -> found in "silver, lead, and copper ores". this weirdly suggests the content of a possible germanium rule already. silver rule: golden inverse. copper rule: either defined as iron rule or platinum rule.
       silver rule: Do not unto others as they should not do unto you. platinum rule: Do (not) unto others as they would (not) have you do unto them; others do (not) do unto you as you would (not) have them do. iron rule, lead rule: Do unto others before they do unto you.
       the silver rule is the conceptual opposite of the iron rule. maybe... this is the "bad" counterpart to the platinum rule? Do unto others whatever they expect you to do to them. man, that's one of the worst ones, that's a candidate for a halogen rule. I feel like germanium should be something at least somewhat interesting, like silicon.
4779. 4779Trotskyism is like livermorium: it's really big, but it falls apart and disappears immediately before it can even be observed
