More a sense of behaving in a manner exhibiting a "weak will" or a lack of control. Note that mindless self indulgence was described by words such as dissipative and dissolute, which certainly describe Choronzon. To my mind the translation of akrasia as incontinence seems to hit the nail on the head, it being behavior not "under will". -- Scott Kenney >|< saken@hotel.rmta.org
