The Golden Rule and Tit for Tat
Friday, February 19th, 2010We all know “the Golden Rule” that the Lord Jesus taught, Luke 6:31:
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
The Old Testament judge Samson articulated the opposite principle, which we might call “the Leaden Rule.” His rule plays an important role in modern game theory, and illustrates an important difference between biblical and modern thought.
