This has been my most popular post so far. I’m a little surprised because I’d thought this topic is pretty well trodden on LW when conceptualized as akrasia. What I’d most like to know is which part of this three-solutions model people found most interesting. I hope it’s the “Heroic recovery” (C) because that would fit a pattern I enjoy seeing, where woo-ish “postrationalist” ideas actually fit perfectly into the art of rationality when they’re explained in the right frame.
Anyway I still endorse everything here and I personally experience far fewer laziness death spirals than I used to.
