From the Paper:

"Besides the Silver Rule, Sagan describes the Brass and Iron Rules. The Brass Rule is common: do unto others as they do unto you. If a kid punches you in the schoolyard, punch back. If a person points a gun, you take yours out. The Brass Rule mirrors the Golden Rule in that both are ripe for corruption and devastation. The Iron Rule, however, is worse. As Sagan states, the Iron Rule is essentially the same thing as "He who has the hold makes the rules." Few persons have the social status, let alone the moral inclination, to perfectly enact the Iron Rule."
