Enslaving these akrastic individuals should be easy, they won't fight back.
Make them do something useful, for their own good, "or else". This makes these external goals explicit and harder to ignore.
I think he means for the akratic person. I see plenty of implications, for example that a way to attack the root of depression would be to fake markers of status - have the person join a small club or organization which they can derive status from, for example.
