Chapter 112: The Mediocrity Principle

The New Civilization School, since its inception, has been grounded in a primary theoretical cornerstone — the "Mediocrity Principle."

The essence of this is summarized in one word: mediocrity.

Large as the entire Milky Way, or as small as a single cell, the high likelihood is that they are all mediocre.

Here's a simple example: Earth, an ordinary rocky planet in the Solar System. Earth is not the center of the Solar System, nor is it the center of the universe. There are many planets like Earth throughout the universe.

The Sun is also just an ordinary star within the Milky Way, with countless similar dwarf yellow stars.

The Milky Way is merely a common spiral galaxy in the universe.

This also leads to another conclusion, that is, our position in the universe, as well as the stage of evolution we are in, is mediocre.

The Mediocrity Principle is so profound that it can be applied to all facets of life.
