My guess is that akrasia could be more effectively fought if this community called it was it is -- laziness -- instead of using a fancy Greek name.
In what way is "I want not to bother doing it" the same as "I have spent huge amounts of money, effort, emotion, social favors and time trying and failing to do it"? The latter is typical in akrasia. Funny way to be lazy, if you ask me.
