Are the Golden Rule(s) Still Golden?

BOX SCORE: Doing Unto Others

Puzzle Summary:

"Do unto others as you would have them do onto you" is the most widely known version of the Golden Rule. However, there is an inverted version that is also thousands of years old which goes, "Don't do onto others as you wouldn't have them do onto you."

ONE PARROT hopes that people would just treat other people better out of the kindness of their hearts. THE OTHER PARROT fears that other people will treat them unfairly so it's best to treat them unfairly first.

It's impossible to live a life that doesn't inevitably have friction in human interactions, family, friends, acquaintances, strangers, perceived enemies, real enemies. How we deal with those frictions defines our culture, norms, humanity, and how we get along with each other. Both Parrots make their good points over and over and over again. What did our nonpartisan scoring system say?
