what is worse than mediocrity?

I have been asked "What is worse than mediocrity?"

Calculated mediocrity.

From Martin Luther King, Jr:

Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking.
There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked
solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.

My cognitive psychology professor back in college kept on telling us that "it is but human to have cognitive biases".  I concur.  But it is our goal to be aware of these biases and go beyond them by asking critical questions.
