I misspoke. I meant to say “If you are a Physicist” and not “Physician.”

Simple Science For Practical Application

The Tit-For-Tat Strategy is flawless for “Uncovering” Narcissists. In order to See how the Tit-For-Tat Strategy is used in Abuse, you have to first understand how it is used in non-abusive situations.

The concept begins with “Role Models”

Role Models <+ The Golden Rule + Law of Reflection + “Tit-For-Tat”

These are the three Components for a Role Model

“The Good Samaritan Fallacy” is the belief that “I should be good to someone and apply “The Golden Rule” without discernment and No Matter What.”

“Treat Others How You Want Them to Be Treated, if and only if they have passed your vetted Standards and are within your Circle of Trust.”

“Once inside your Circle of Trust, then Treat Others How You Want Them to Be Treated, If and only if they are following the Tit-For-Tat Strategy via The Law of Reflection.”

What this means is “Save The Golden Rule for people within your Circle of Trust.”

Outside of the Circle of Trust, default to the Tit-For-Tat Strategy.

Look at this Flow Chart:
