Indosentia

Indosentia

n.
the fear that your emotions might feel profound but are crudely biological, less to do with meaning and philosophy than with hormones, endorphins, sleep cycles, and blood sugar—any of which might easily be tweaked to induce unfalsifiable feelings of joy, depression, bloodlust, or kinship, or even a spiritual transcendence of your physical body.

Acronym of the supposed “happy chemicals” Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins + in absentia, something done in your absence. Pronounced “in-duh-sen-shah” or “in-doh-sen-tyah.”
