The Urgrund (out old high German “ur�?: out, initially and “reason�?) designates creative first, which holds and from itself brings the diversity out of the world mystisch. Changing designations in German with similar purchase are as origin, Ungrund, abyss.
Der Urgrund (aus althochdeutsch "ur": aus, anfänglich und "Grund") bezeichnet das schöpferische Erste, das die Mannigfaltigkeit der Welt mystisch in sich birgt und aus sich hervorbringt. Wechselnde Bezeichnungen im Deutschen mit ähnlichem Bezug finden sich als Ursprung, Ungrund, Abgrund.
Ratholing is a term used to describe a conversation or process that has deviated from its original productive purpose into a generally unproductive but long and winding detour that eventually comes to a dead end. The original discussion purpose may be to agree on a course of action. However, if one or more people rathole into a specific point of the discussion then the discussion stalls with no actionable outcome.
Note that the word metaeuphoria is a protologism with aspirations of someday becoming a neologism, though its usage remains limited at best. In fact, it lacks meaning because it has no contextual use whatsoever. If anything, it's barely hypertextual through its self-referential mentions at metaeuphoria.com (and now at wordie.org).
As a chance linguistic commingling between the prefix meta and word euphoria, you have a state which can only be described as beyond common or everyday euphoria (if only there were such a condition). Any more elucidation requires far keener disambiguation.

In short, a fab word.

metaeuphoria commented on the word welteislehre
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
--Robert Frost, 1920

see wikipedia, but that list is way too long to add (nor would I really want to).
Also, it would be darwinian vs darwinism; added some of the others suggested though.
