Mediocracy

It may be a mediocre, standardized thought, but when you read in a headline The triumph of the mediocre you think that what comes next is an article about politics and, more to more, about Spanish politics. Yesterday, in these pages, on this website, Rodrigo Terrasa discovered the essay published today in Spain by the philosopher Alain Deneault, Mediocracia, when mediocre people come to power . Terrasa used to explain the theory of the Canadian thinker a precise metaphor, that of the mixed sandwich: we are not disgusted but we are not excited. It fulfills its function, it kills us hunger and does not complicate us.

Denault does not discover anything, it puts us in order . We spend the day identifying mediocre politicians who are grouped into parties and who no longer choose their leader, choose the leader of the mediocre. At the polls we voted for lists in which the two could be fifteen, twenty or four. But we feel freed from our guilt because we are a majority, above average, who think that our politicians are mediocre. Ergo we are also, those who settle for such simplistic thoughts, simplified reasoning, mediocre.

It is not that we are, it is not that they are doing things wrong. We strive, we are competent, but it is a matter of intellectual laziness . We have settled in a line that is not necessary to get out, because the successes will come alone, we will be driven by our colleagues, the other mediocre. The better what is done within what is planned, of the established plan, we will progress, slow but without interruption. A newcomer coach from China commented, where they are excited about football. They will improve, but they will take or maybe they will never arrive. Their work culture will lead them to do well, better and better, but they will never ask themselves if that last dribble has to be done.

As long as citizens remain good human resources, everything will continue to work . In addition, we will be happy, such as putting the mediocre politicians who are incapable of forming a government. Or how to worship gurus who make us feel outside the line while they enlist us to another unified thought. Assuming that mediocracy is already a system, that mediocrity dominates us, let's conclude for our mediocre satisfaction: not all politicians are mediocre. There are also bad and very bad.
