FREE CLASS!

This class about NOT breaking The Golden Rule in big, obvious ways has been provided by MobiusBlueRibbon.com

Prerequisite:  This class is intended for fans of The Golden Rule.

This class is probably most beneficial to pre-adults still in that too-often-too-short period during which The Golden Rule seems natural, obvious, and intuitive.  We encourage taking this class along with other fans of The Golden Rule so each item can be discussed.  Even better, attend a class led by a professional teacher.  Upon successful completion, you can have your own MobiusCertificate. 

The estimated time to complete is 1.5 to 3 hours (perhaps longer with good discussions or shorter with pre-assigned reading/listening), but future versions are expected to become longer.  So take it now while it's easy* and shorter!
* Only 14 correct Yes/No answers are needed to qualify for a certificate! (...for now, so don't hesitate to skip or defer any tough ones.)

  • Do you think humanity has been embarrassingly late at adding to its day-to-day vocabulary any action-words for the act of deciding NOT to break The Golden Rule in big, obvious ways?
    • Alternatively, substitute the word "embarrassingly" with with "dangerously" if that's easier for you.

10
 Were most of the protest-worthy causes you have ever cared about caused by someone deciding to go ahead and break The Golden Rule in some big way even though doing so should have been quite obvious beforehand?  
  • Alternative wording - use if it's easier:  Have practically all protests begun to look to you as though they all stem from the same root cause?  (as if they're all the same protest)

11
  If an opportunity arose, would you tell someone who is being protested that the root reason they're being protested is that they had decided to break The Golden Rule in some big, obvious way(s) even if they've been told that before?  (Assuming that is indeed why they were being protested.)
  • Alternative wording - use if it's easier:  Does someone being boycotted, protested, or otherwise shunned because they broke The Golden Rule in some big, obvious way deserve to be told why they're being boycotted, protested, or shunned?
12
  Do you see democracy as a subset or special case of a group "doing" The Golden Rule?
13
  Does voting for a candidate who obviously breaks The Golden Rule also break it? (assuming another candidate obviously breaks it less)
14
  Do you see racism as a blatant violation of The Golden Rule?
  • Alternatively, substitute the word racism with any other type of discrimination if that's easier for you (class discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, anti-LGBTQ-ism, anti-immigrant discrimination, anti-refugee discrimination, anti-asylum-seeker discrimination, etc.)
15
  Is it a form of a golden rule violation to make natural disasters worse by obstructing preparations before and restricting rescue/recovery budgets after?  (e.g. asteroid/comet impacts, pandemics, earthquakes/tsunamis, solar flares, natural-global-warming/cooling, storms/drought,  etc.)
  • Alternative wording - use if it's easier:  Ditto for man-made disasters.   Is it a form of a golden rule violation to make man-made disasters worse by obstructing preparations/mitigation before and restricting rescue and recovery budgets after?   (e.g.  nukes, bioweapons, environmental poisoning/depletion, man-made-global-warming, etc.)
