Your model of human behavior doesn’t look in the least realistic to me, with its prohibition of reason, and requirements for difficult rituals of baptising reason into action.

Well, I suppose all the experiments that have been done on construal theory, and how concrete vs. abstract construal affects action and procrastination must be unrealistic, too, since that is a major piece of what I’m talking about here.
(If people were generally good at turning their reasoning into action, akrasia wouldn’t be such a hot topic here and in the rest of the world.)
Akrasia happens, but it’s not a universal mode. I object to you implying that akrasia is inevitable.
I never said it was inevitable. I said it happens when there are conflicts, and you haven’t really decided what to do about those conflicts, with enough detail and specificity for System 1 to automatically make the “right” choice in context. If you want different results, it’s up to you to specify them for yourself.
