Dwight:  Starting with Adultoleptic Zombiosis—the collective term for the infectious conditions that each suppress the expression of one of the 27 distinct human life essences—I want to settle on the nomenclature for each individual condition.

​

I'm going to list out the 27 fundamental life essences, along with a candidate name for the infection that eliminates or suppresses the experience of each of those life essences. Each of these is just an easy, off-the-cuff candidate name. But I want to go for variation in the disease names, and also to come up with names that suggest more toxic conditions.

​

Reply with a one-by-one suggestion of your top one or two candidates for a word to designate that particular affliction.

​

1. Anger: Resentitus

2. Asking: Accommoditus

3. Authenticity: Vanititus

4. Belonging: Shuniphobia

5. Creativity: Correctilus

6. Curiosity: Boringitus

7. Crying: Strongitus

8. Dancing and Physical Self-Expression: Rigoritus

9. Excitement: Coolitus

10. Fearfulness: Fearlessitus

11. Forever Dawning and Anticipation: Enditus

12. Gratitude: Unctuosilitus

13. Imagination: Practicalitus

14. Innocence and Openness: Shouldalitus

15. Joy: So-solitosis

16. Peacefulness: Anxietilitus

17. Playfulness and Lightness: Workilitosis

18. Powerlessness and Surrender: Forcilitus

19. Rapturous Captivation: Attentionitus

20. Refusing and Boundary-Setting: Yesilitois

21. Sensuosity and Presence: Numbilitosis

22. Silliness: Seriositus

23. Sovereignty and Self-Determination: Dependicitus
