isnt inertia a science term?
it can be reappropriated a little bit beyond its context, with a very common feature language being that a word that means one thing (when in application to its original subject/context) can also be used to serve as an analogy for an entirely different subject/context (usually the applicable meaning of a word will pivot on what its lexical root/stem was supposed to signify within a language). for example, "rizz" actually appropriates the phonetic and semantic qualities of "charisma" and analogizes that root/stem lexeme with an
action in addition to a
noun, meaning something similar to the noun-and-verb "charm". a more simple principle is... most of our words are derived from distinct morphological roots/stems from languages like latin and greek, and those roots/stems are smothered in all kinds of transformative new parts in english where the original meaning is completely transformed to mean something else
with "inertia", the pivot point is less a phonetic/lexical transformation and moreso a primarily semantic extrapolation. the property of inertia being that objects w/ motion will stay in motion (and objects w/o motion will stay w/o it), usually applied in the contexts of physics and other related fields, can be taken to mean what i ultimately meant to clarify...
a chronically maladaptive daydreamer:
"a person with excessive and regular/habitual daydreaming, at the expense of urgent priorities like hydration/nutrition, production/socialization, and any obligation that would require presence and attention"
drowning in inertia:
"a person without motivation/volition who also is unable to effectively create or use any motivation/volition, to the effect that their life remains unchanged despite any attempt that person would make"
