A phenomenon where a person dissociates themselves from bad events that happen in their society, in the hopes that they are going to be unaffected by that event. This typically has a religious undertone.
Sarah: Did you hear what happened to Grace? She got robbed last night
Helen: Yeah, I did. Grace and that exemption mentality of hers...how could she leave her car unlocked when she knows there's a robbing spree?
A phenomenon where a person dissociates themselves from bad events that happen in their society, in the hopes that they are going to be unaffected by that event, typically in religious scenarios.
Sarah: Did you hear what happened to Grace? Apparently, she got robbed.
Helen: Yeah, I heard about that. It's that nonsense exemption mentality that led her to leave her car unlocked when there has been a robbing spree.
Acceptance of inevitable destruction.
When you know that something is inevitably going to ruin what you have done, but you do it anyway for whatever reason you may have.
Quoted from 2b2t wiki:
The Builder's Dilemma, The Sandcastle Mentality is a philosophical concept that is one of the pillars of the "veteran mentality". It means that a player accepts the destructive nature of 2b2t, and learns to live with it. Its name comes from building sandcastles on beaches: no one builds a sand castle believing or expecting that it will last forever.
"Mark built a sandcastle even though he knew a wave will just wash it off at some point. One can say he has the Sandcastle Mentality, maybe even a Builder's Dilemma in mind."
