Can you explain the distinction between
1. movement in the direction of "greater satisfaction"
and
2. what one chooses
If there is no distinction, then they mean the same thing. If they mean the same thing it is a tautology.
Note I did not ask for his proof, nor did I ask on what he based his conclusions

A tautology is circular reasoning. He did not reason in a circle LadyShea.

If there is no distinction to be made between 1. and 2. then it is circular reasoning.
