The Golden Rule's Social Justification

by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee
Original publication 2003

Hypothesis:

The Golden Scales Of Justice Q: Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. Or, what?
A: Or, the elimination of all players is possible.

PROOF

Introduction

A proof of The Golden Rule.

The Golden Rule can be applied to economics similarly to Nash's Equilibrium (or Le Chatelier's Principle in chemistry):

"The best responses of all players are in accordance with each other."
-- John Nash, Jr.
If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change.
-- A statement of Le Chatelier's Principle

Q: What happens when the responses of all players are not aligned?
A: Justification

SOCIAL JUSTIFICATION

This thesis forecasts the elimination of the United States' advantage in "standard of living."

[such as, U.S. (Europe / 1st World) --> 2nd World Status <-- 3rd World Countries]

Q: What will happens when U.S. citizens wake-up to the facts of social justification?
A: Panic!

The theory was first developed in 1999 and published in 2003. At that time, we predicted the "awakening" to be similar to startling a sleeping giant. Is the presidential election of 2016 the awakening? No. In fact, they made a joke of woke. How about the global pandemic of 2020? No. Self-interests killed our hope. What about the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis that ensued? No. Though 2021 was the worst year in history for greenhouse gas emissions, the population increased coal, oil, and gas production.

Summary

The Social Justification model suggests that the players have created the conditions in the "theater of operations" that will lead to an uninhabitable environment. At the current time, there is no known way for the players to stop or reverse the game clock.
