Thank you. I wasn't aware it was a "thing".

Yet I think I took it one step further with my alien society, lol. 

Mark Rowlands has been using it as an argument for animal rights, stating that if we were to design a truly just society we would consider all sentient life as we would not know whether we might be born as a different species.

In the end it's basically just the Golden Rule in a different form.

Yes, an expansion of the Golden Rule. . . Nice. . .

I like this framework with animals. I observe a lot of humanism in the world. This is a pointer toward trans-human awareness, yet I think most people would still contextualize it within a human mindset. Yet it's great to encourage people to try to see other perspectives.

We could extend the analogy to trees as well. Imagine the earth as a giant organism and the Amazon Rainforest is the lung of the organism. You don't now what type of "cell" you will be in the giant organism - how have to design the physiology or the organism. . . Fun stuff :)
