Explanations may require volumes of some size to articulate as is the case of the recent proof of Fermat s last theorem. Ken Wilber s initiative is an even more recent example. Such explanations beg the question of the manner in which people are to be expected to respond to them. Whatever the Theory of Everything, there are dissidents and unbelievers. The early dramas of many religions concern the relationship between believers and unbelievers first the believers are persecuted by the unbelievers, then later on the roles are often reversed.
Religions are usually quite articulate about the situation and treatment of unbelievers.
Relevance of the Peter Principle As applied to promotion of executives within organizations, the Peter Principle holds that people are promoted to the level at which they become incompetent, since clearly below that level they will always appear to be eligible for promotion. At such a level consensus may be most easily sought since it is without any practical consequence. This may be seen in the case of many global declarations, strategies and action plans. It may also be characteristic of many philosophies.
