Our GR can tell a masochist who wants to be tortured to torture another.
Our GR can tell a masochist who wants to be tortured to torture another.
Our GR won't command torture, since it doesn't command specific actions. Instead, it forbids inconsistent combinations (treating another in a given way + not consenting to be treated that way in the same situation). Since our GR only forbids inconsistencies, it doesn't assume that our desires about how we are to be treated are perfectly fine or give us a flawless guide on how to treat others.
The literal GR would tell the masochist to torture another. So the literal GR can command a person with defective desires to do evil things.
