In my analysis, the action axiom in the Austrian school of economics is based on the following trilemma: either an action is determined, or it's random, or it's a choice. If it's a choice, then whatever you chose was the best option you had for whatever reason you chose it. If it's determined, we either say there isn't a choice happening, or equivalently you chose the best (and only) option you had. If it's totally random and no coherent narrative can explain it, then that violates the axiom, but there are good arguments that true randomness doesn't exist. Actions can have aspects of all three, but as movement through time entails physical action, the axiom simply states "time moves forwards and things aren't random".

I should add, it's that time moves forward from the perspective of every observer. It doesn't require absolute time.

I will need to fix this in the not too distant future.

I don't think that that the Shark has had a birthday party since this one in 2012

The true beauty and perhaps horror of Twitter is that you can literally address the Pope as a "fucking libtard".
Replying to @Pontifex
No they can't, which is why God mandated the death penalty in the Bible, you fucking libtard.

Replying to @_Hazardous_Wolf
Ancaps just assume people are retarded because understanding that self-interest can be subtly or inadvertently malicious undermines their worldview.

Researchers recently used wavenumber power scaling to derive scaling factors for fundamental harmonic vibrational frequencies and thermodynamic corrections. They used Q-Chem to obtain geometries and frequencies with MP2, CCSD, and >40 DFT functionals. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.6c0…

We benchmark Wavenumber Power Scaling (WPS) across 500+ model chemistries in our new @JCIM_JCTC @ACSPublications paper. WPS improves on uniform scaling by up to 64%, is less basis dependent, and can describe molecular vibrational fundamentals and thermodynamics equally. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.6c0…
