oh, oops, I did mostly mean the absence of goals.
I don't think I've engaged in persistent, goal-directed activity that I also believe is immoral (that seems almost self-contradictory! Do people do that?) What I'm talking about is lack of motivation and akrasia that includes moral failures.
Yeah, for sure! It's called evil. Sometimes you know a course of action is wrong (intrinsically or because of its effects on others) but you like the way it will affect you, so you consciously figure out how to gain those benefits.
