Why is society so fond of mediocrity? Why has excellence become a curse? Not only are the excellent few forced to carry the burden of the world’s mediocrity, but they are judged by that very mediocre majority who possess no qualification save their number. Why must everyone be deemed deserving of the same fruits regardless of merit, all in the name of equality?
How did we get here? Blame the weak who lack confidence in their deeds…who crave to approval of the masses to reassure themselves of their own worth.
By perpetuating this injustice, we are driving ourselves ever closer to extinction. When the end is upon us, then the mediocre shall be weighed upon evolution’s unbiased scales and found wanting. The Galt in me shall only then find peace, at least some measure of it.
About Me
- macnife
- Welcome to my mind. In here you'll find everything you'll never need short of vintage ball bearings baked into a cake. And, I come here daily to have my morning coffee and add to the entropy of the universe. If you're a bit confused as to what I'm on about, you may have forgotten to leave either your shoes or your sanity by the door on your way in. And don't bother looking for the light switch... we're always on at full brightness in here.

i think intelligence, success and excellence are really quite overrated.
