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."

Has a pretty broad definition. "A wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, or behavior."
Hym "What makes it NOT a mental illness? I don't give a fuck about stigmatization. You have collectively managed to stigmatized not having a fat cock. So no... Don't care about that at all... And you remember who you're talking to right? The guy for whom the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia are , in fact, not delusions and is a thing people are doing? Remember? Does that not affect the stigmatization of the mentally ill? That doesn't matter at all? But, back to the religious... Does it not affect mood, thinking, or behavior?"

When your thoughts are so deep and profound that when explained to other, more average people they perceive it as silly or simply, inconceivable due to their lack of mental capacity.
