A word derived from the Latin vestigium (meaning “footprint” or “trace”) and the English word silence.
Vestilence describes the feeling of sad nostalgia that hits when you cross paths with someone who was once an integral part of your life — and you’re struck by the realization that not only are you now strangers, but you can continue living the rest of your life without them.

I was minding my business until Kurt approached me. I hadn’t heard from him in a while — and suddenly, I was hit with a wave of vestilence.

Get the Vertically Challenged mug.The name Benj Hellie gave to this question: "Why am I me and not someone else?". It's called "vertiginous" because it makes people's heads spin, especially the heads of P-zombies. Also called the "even harder problem of consciousness", since it's even harder to solve than David Chalmers' hard problem of consciousness. Materialism can't seem to answer it. Its unanswerability and the fact that the self exists at all may possibly imply that solipsism is true, that animals aren't sentient, and that this is all a simulation where everyone else is an NPC. It may also imply that I'm immortal and that my consciousness will last forever, living as everyone.
How a nonsentient P-zombie NPC reacts after hearing about it: "The vertiginous question is meaningless. If I were someone else, I wouldn't be me."
