Strategic Collapse

... is when there is only one competitive strategy in a game that was designed to have many. See: 1:35 of Extra Credits' "Is the Game Broken? - Designer's Intent and the Triple Power Rule - Extra Politics - #7" video

Laureline: Yo Wu Zetian is so OP why would I bother playing any other Civilization See: Sid Meier's Civilization V.

A Nonpositional Mindset

Is an insouciant attitude towards the rat race (especially when someone has gratitude for things regardless of how they may benefit from them in regard to the pecking order).

McVey: "It's nice to see that rich lady Ria Valladares with a nonpositional mindset for once -- not being super braggadocious about all her money & success."

Rouse: "Yeah a sort of fundamental gratitude for things regardless of what other people have is nice to see -- wherever someone happens to be at within the social strata at the time".
Jolyne: Cha' a nonpositional mindset is probs a nice virtue to strive towards.
