this begs the question,
'is mediocrity good or bad?'

who wants mediocre?
who wants to live in a mediocre world?
i argue mediocre is bad.
why settle for less than good?
why not be idealistic?

it also depends how you define bad.
is bad the absence of negative or is it the absence of positive?
can something be bad simply because it's not good?
is accepting to be average bad?
can something that's not malicious and doesn't mean harm be bad?
