Mediocracy

The general tendency of things throughout the world 

is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.

A person may cause evil to others 

not only by his actions 

but by his inaction, 

and in either case 

he is justly accountable to them for the injury.

— John Stuart Mill

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservative.
