Sometimes it can be hard to imagine exactly what it was like to be a human in other times in history. We can have a forgetfulness, a myopia about just how many human experiences there have been that differ from our own. We may even have an amnesia about concepts that we think we invented, but in fact already existed in our culture, like when confelicity was briefly popular in the early twentieth century among psychologists. How do you imagine people used the word confelicity in the early twentieth century?
