Forced Mediocrity

Forced mediocrity refers to a situation where individuals who are not highly intelligent or talented are forced to conform to more articulate belief systems due to the pressures of increased intelligent systems.
In a high-stakes job interview, a candidate who is not highly intelligent may feel forced to use more complex language and ideas in order to appear more competent and impress the interviewer. This is an example of forced mediocrity, where the candidate is compelled to conform to a more articulate belief system due to the pressure of increased intelligence in the workplace.

Mediocity

Mat "Pookie" Swingle's favorite "word", which in fact isn't a word at all. It was just mediocrity misspelled on a Panda Express fortune cookie that Mat found when he was 12.
Mat showed me the fortune cookie paper while we were hanging out one day. It said, and I quote, " Be broke or be wealthy, but never accept mediocity."
