618. Q618/Q618 livermorium 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.

Prescriptive rules

618. Q618/Q618 thallium rule / Submit all actions to God / Yield your and others' actions to God / Whatever God tells you to do you everyone has to do instead of what anyone wants / No, sir, I can't imagine a soft pretzel without butter; I certainly wouldn't serve you one / (9k)

     I was always implicitly told before about the age of 18 that the United States won the Cold War because it followed this steel rule. but as I got older and saw how often it was broken I realized that that statement was almost totally false.
     Others' actions for yourself (bronze rule) + thing that would sound different coming out of Stalin's government = steel rule.
     Do not do what you do not want other sovereign countries to do + Soviet Union / East Germany / People's republic of China = steel rule.
618. Q618/Q618 "Do not do what you do not want other sovereign countries to do" -> the PRC actually follows this rule day-to-day while the United States doesn't. it's actually a rather big idea in Deng Xiaoping Thought to try to get other countries to stop doing what they're doing through non-aggression.

618. metallic rules and prisoner's dilemma -> it's super easy for people to present metallic rules as the false solution to this but the problem is they don't actually give any control over the other person's decisions, which is to say whether the other person will follow the metallic rules in the first place. the prisoner's dilemma is still in place.
13032. Q13032/Q13,032 germanium -> 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.
