Nullness

n. A state of instinctive restlessness that arises when your society makes too many choices on your behalf--foreclosing all risks, codifying all moral dilemmas, deciding in advance whether you'll succeed or fail--as if your conscience had been outsourced to an external provider, so it's no longer necessary to have one on site.

Etymology

From null, an empty set of values.
