“Meta-treat others the way the way you want to be meta-treated—which means: treat others the way they want to be treated instead of the way you want to be treated (just as you prefer to be treated the way you want to be treated, rather than the way other people want to be treated).”
The nice thing about this is that if you take the meta-version of this rule (and meta-meta-, etc.), it collapses into itself (similarly to “GOD Over Djinn”); and, because it begins with “golden-rule nature”, it has the desideratum you cite. (That is: “Why should I treat others the way they want to be treated?” “Because you want them to treat you the way you want to be treated.”)
Apart from some creeping suspicion about overuse of meta (which I certainly am not in any position to criticize others for), this seems pretty good to me.
