It really bothers me that we as a culture have come to just accept mediocrity. I can tie a lot of it to a growing reliance on instant gratification - there simply seems to be an overall lack of ability to accept a later and better product at the cost of getting something inferior now. There's also the "somebody else's problem" effect. We all know someone will care enough to do the thing properly, so why should everyone do so? But when more and more people buy into that, we get a tragedy of the commons.
Did somebody call my name? I'd love to stick around and reply, but I've got problems to solve!
