Not kidding anyone. But when you talk with people they say mediocre/average as insults in various settings (for example: physical/lookswise, academic/economic/professional, social). They always say that being average is not enough in every aspect of the clown world, be it at a job application, for romantic perspectives or in an academic situation when you apply for further education - the implications of these words are a really potent suicidefuel: When even being average gets you contempt/disdain, imagine what people think when you are below average - it's pathognomonic for the state of the world when being average is not enough and an average man gets nothing.
Furthermore, when you talk with boomers about that mentality they tell you "Just stop being average by improving yourself!" - they are such retarded beings, even if I was average to begin with, what do you think will happen when people improve themselves? The standards (in educational/professional as well as social/romantic settings) will also rise up because a new average is defined by that, again when a trait is common nobody has it in the modern world, because it doesn't make you stand out, look at muscles for example which became a prerequisite for dating (and not a guarantee of success) for otherwise average looking men, because they became common and therefore were taken for granted, today you stand out by not working out as a man, only a prettyboy twink chad can have success without having them.
It really shows you how much the neoliberal self-optimization mindest that ultimately defines self-improvement as a sisyphean task with no defined end goal has infiltrated the minds of people, nowadays if you want to relax after a hard day of studying/working and don't want to improove yourself more for a world that doesn't even thank you for it you are seen as the aberrant one, the lazy detritus of society, when you want something back for your efforts you are seen as entitled. Always think about these implications when so(y)ciety outwardly tells people that being average is a sin/not enough and that wanting something back for your efforts is something that should be frowned upon, it shows that it no longer cares about the desires of its average denizens (let alone the masses that are below average) therefore being open about breaking its social contract and no longer having a reason to exist to begin with. Everything is so incredibly sick the more you actually think about it.
