Peter Principle: what this star will be

Peter Principle is a star on the Constellate sky: placed by meaning, named, and connected to the stars around it. This is the short form of its post: the line it carries, the area we colour Economics, and what stands beside it today.

The line it carries on the sky: Everyone is promoted until they reach the job they cannot do.

What stands beside it

The stars nearest to it are Goodhart's Law, Gresham's Law, Principal-Agent Problem and Selectorate Theory, and Survivorship Bias is already open to walk. When Peter Principle opens, the conversation will land it among them, with a line drawn to each idea it touches.

Ask for this star

Every star is lit by demand. Ask for Peter Principle and it moves up the list; when it opens, this post becomes the full essay. The open stars beside it can be walked today, and the first concept of every course is free.
