Bad Advice Dressed Up As Old Wisdom

Why does everyone seem to think that

“Treat others as I want to be treated”

is automatically the kindest?

Why would others want what suits me best?
Why would a cat want to be treated the same as a goldfish? (treated to a goldfish, maybe)

Why would a NB Moldovan farmer with eczema want to be treated the same as me?

I think the ideas that: “Treat others as they want to be treated“ and “Equitable is way fairer and better than Equal

are infinitely kinder & inclusivier to all creatures including humans. Wtf ppl, get it together.
