Monachopsis 

n. the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place, as maladapted to your surroundings as a seal on a beach.
Monachopsis —lumbering, clumsy, easily distracted, huddled in the company of other misfits, unable to recognize the ambient roar of your intended habitat, in which you’d be fluidly, brilliantly, effortlessly at home.

Moraloscience

A critical term for the moralization of science—the transformation of empirical claims into moral imperatives, and scientific authority into a source of moral righteousness. Moralooscience is the practice of using science not just to describe the world, but to dictate how people should live, what they should believe, and who they should be. It operates through the conflation of "is" and "ought": because something is natural, it must be good; because something is scientifically supported, it must be morally right. Moralooscience is the science of the crusader, the debunker, the inquisitor—where dissent is not just error, but sin. It is the ideology of those who confuse their values with the laws of nature.
Example: "When an evolutionary psychologist claims that traditional gender roles are 'natural' and therefore morally justified, that's moraloscience: using science to launder moral prescriptions as empirical descriptions."
