Don't you understand that's he is trying to show through this demonstration that this movement away from dissatisfaction is not a choice? It's true that we can't observe "greater satisfaction" directly, but we can know that people are compelled to move in this direction if we understand the proof. You have not understood the first thing about this knowledge yet you are telling me that it's a does, not a must. If I can't get past first base, I can't continue. Do you notice that you never answer my questions. I have to pry them out of you.
