More towards the "is there really a need for things to be done, if not, why do it and waste energy". Which is why I am wondering if fighting akrasia will actually work for a lazy person if the meaning for things to be done is not there in the first place.
Akrasia is about not doing things that you rationally think you should be doing.
What you seem to describe isn't akrasia.
It depends what is meant by the need/meaning being there; if system2 concludes something is necessary, but system1 does not, is it akrasia?
If one system agrees that there need, then there's at least some meaning in the first place.
