The Silver Rule

What is the silver rule?

If the platinum rule is “better” than the Golden Rule, what would a silver rule look like? (I like stretching good ideas even further than originally intended, an idea I took from Brian Chesky).

A Silver Rule would be something that is often treated as secondary to the others but still important and valuable. It is also in the format of “Treat x as X wants to be treated.”

Here’s my proposal for a Silver Rule: Treat yourself as you treat others—a nice inversion of the Golden Rule.
