Leadership is nature’s way of removing morons from the productive flow

The title is Dogbert‘s 1995 statement of the Dilbert Principle. See what Orwell wrote:

“Between the two branches of the Party there is a certain amount of interchange, but only so much as will ensure that weaklings are excluded from the Inner Party and that ambitious members of the Outer Party are made harmless by allowing them to rise.”

Then again, everyone gets promoted to their level of incompetence.
