Hi Timoty, Thanks for your comment. The "Peter Principle" indeed presents challenges, and its impact is often compounded for BIPOC. Navigating obstacles and overcoming systemic barriers can be an uphill battle with everyone subliminally hypnotize by a colonial mindset. The timeworn axiom you mention highlights the complexity of competition, acknowledging that avoidance is not always a feasible option. We live in this mess. Addressing such systemic issues requires everyone's effort to dismantle barriers and create a more equitable playing field—something we all yearn for.
