I want to want akrasia.

Um...

Expanded, that means, "I want to want to want to not want [to smoke]." (Replace bracketed term with any other akratic habit. Remember, akrasia is, loosely, when you want to not want to do something.)

I'm still trying to unwind that. Belated happy birthday btw

Shouldn't that be "I want to want to (want to smoke and want to not want to smoke)"?
