"The Peter Principle" was a term coined in 1969 by Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull — it was the name of their book exploring the idea that employees are often promoted beyond their level of competence. Big Think's Jonny Thomson says this is often a consequence of rewarding good followers with leadership positions. "What Hull and Peter point out is that it makes no sense at all to assume that someone who’s lived their career in unoriginal subordination would suddenly become Abraham Lincoln with a corner office," he writes. Here's his story for Big Think about what we can learn from the theory — and how we can avoid its pitfalls.

Welcome to Issue 175 of The Continent.
No one likes to speak ill of the dead. Nonetheless, many Tanzanians breathed a quiet sigh of relief at the passing of former president John Magufuli. His successor, Samia Suluhu Hassan, initially promised to be less authoritarian. But then people started disappearing. To make this story more accessible to Tanzanian audiences, we are publishing it in English and Kiswahili.

DUDE. That's pretty f'ing cool! Automatically updating user feeds with current information people want to represent them & also share with others?
That's really innovative. Cross-domain federated information isn't something too many other services do. Congratulations & well done!

con muchas ganas de leer Manuela de Eugenio Diáz Castro. La pregunta es, soportaré este tipo de prosa? porq no les miento, a mi cuando adolescente me encantaba La María de Isaacs y anoche abrí ese libro otravez y me dio mucha flojera el primer párrafo... esta noche intentare leer más, pero bueno, ya veremos.

I've been thinking a lot about this drawing

And one place my mind went was "what if Magical Girl Ferris met Xenia" and so I'm imagining a short comic where Magical Girl Ferris appears before Xenia and announces she's going to save her and then proceeds to cheerfully wreck all of Xenia's shelving and workspace with her clumsy but very energetic magical powers while Xenia in tears begs for her to stop helping. This doesn't need to exist, I just want you to imagine it does
okay turns out i'm not into the static prose, so I took out Inform and something will be here: code.oreolek.me/oreolek/ferris…
…eventually
