Well, I don’t think it would make a difference to Roy’s point if you signed up for a program whereby you got a new $1000 every time you did something akratic. Doing akratic things just makes you very rich. The paradox (i.e. that these actions could no longer be called akratic) would remain.
Ah, that’s not how I was interpreting it. I interpreted “incontinence” to mean “not working”, rather than “not doing the rational thing.” If you interpret it in the second way, then this seems to just be a fancy version of “your mission is to fail this mission,” which is itself a variant of “this sentence is a lie.”
