There's also a sort of akrasia which is physically based-- if I eat too much refined carbs, I can get a day or two of doing very little while thinking "I don't care, I don't care". It looks like a psychological problem, but is really well corelated with the carbs.

I agree; that's what I meant by the "wetware akrasia" footnote linked to the post about glucose.
