Do unto others as you want done unto you. Basically all of game theory. The threat of a guillotine. These are all extremely basic and rational arguments that merely ask you not to be a dickhead.

Or more pointedly, they are all things that illustrate ways in which it's in your rational self-interest to not be a dickhead.

You shouldn't treat others as you'd like. You should treat others as they'd like.
