I choose 2 and 3.

I don't know everyone on the planet. So I can't know what their preferences are. That's where my comment about mind reading comes in. So, in lieu of mind reading, I can treat people how I would like to be treated until I get to know them.

The 'platinum rule' is just an extension of the golden rule. If I know someone and they know me, I will treat them how I now know they would like to be treated because that is how I want to be treated.

Try not to be an officious douche.

If the platinum rule is both an extension and contradiction of the golden rule, then the golden rule is ambiguous.
