Is there something like “false mediocrity” ? (equivalent to false modesty). And what would you reply to the objection that mediocrity is a luxury only the non-mediocre (or the too mediocre to be aware) can afford?

I’d say look around at actual humans. Take the next 10 people you meet and ask how many are striving for excellence in anything vs slacking through on bare minimum effort and settling for lesser rewards.
Self-aware, self-accepting mediocrity may be rare but mediocrity itself isn’t. And self-awareness doesn’t falsify it.
