What's the best way to beat the system?

Question

I can beat the system but you know another way?

All systems can be beaten, cos they all fallible - After all man is fallible and anything he creates will also be.

Sorry: When I said "the system" I thought people would have nogin to understand.
For those that don't have the intelligence: The system that keeps you in chains and is the cause of misery for millions of others around the world who will never find peace in the current system!

The system that is born out of ignorance!

Only the ignorant carry on regardless!

I must admit that the "don't play" scenario sounds very appealing. Unfortunately this is impractical for all parties concerned, and would require the commitment of all of those that makeup the system for there to be any real worthwhile change… The next question to arise is “what do we replace it with?”

Surly, people must understand that a system built on acquisition is unsustainable. It seems very stupid to fight your way to the top of a system which is heavily reliant on a broad base for its support.

I think the only way one can live in it, is to stay at the bottom and wait for its inevitable collapse. But then another question arises, “what do we all do at the point of system failure?”

I just hope it’s not violent!

Answer 1

The answer to this is probably more complicated than it first appears. 'The System' referred to, by most people's definition is the way we conduct our daily lives in relation to what we buy from commerce - where commerce is a generic term for the banks and shops and anywhere really where our hard earned cash changes hands in exchange for goods and services. This could be anything from a packet of polo mints in the local paper shop to the dole cheque those of us unfortunate to be out gainful employment recieve on a periodical basis from the Department of Social Services or the Government by any other name.

If we start by using that as an example, we could say that beating the system could represent signing on and getting your (free?) money whilst working for a cash in hand payment. But is that really beating the system? The Social Services budget far outweighs that of every other government department and it is getting worse all the time because of the influx of immigrants into this country that have not in any way shape or form contributed to the fund that supports this practice and so everyone that signs on illegitamately contributes to the increase in the cost of living, Albeit by a minute amount singularly. In turn however as the cost of living goes up your illegitamate doll cheque won't buy you what it did even five years ago and so in the long run everyone who exercises this nefarious practice is shooting themselves in the foot.

A practice that is not restricted to the masses but local and government departments are also just as guilty. The practice of issuing parking tickets in a our major towns and cities to generate revenue for the councils and dignitary bodies that control them during the working week is a prime example of this.

You see, the chances are that during the working week the majority of vehicles that get issued with parking tickets are company vehicles. Now, most companies know this is a likelyhood while their drivers are out working and they approach it in different ways.

A few still make the drivers pay for their own tickets but this has almost died out as driving vacancies in this country are ten a penny and so drivers that deliver to places where they regularly get tickets and drive under this type of company regime now have the luxury of refusing to deliver there and if dismissed from their employment for it just move onto the next job. In any event the person that suffers initially is the client and the delivery company. I'll come back to that in a moment.

Or the company will pre budget for a ticket whether it gets one or not into the delivery or 'handling' charge in which case the client will suffer and I'll come back to that in a moment.

Or the company waits till they get a ticket, try to fight it on the grounds of delivery, lose, and then pass that cost onto the customer by a number of means. In the end the customer suffers initially.

Now, 'initially' is a very important word here! So the delivery company initially makes their delivery to their client and gets a ticket while doing so or doesn't recieve his goods at all because the drivers refuse to stop at his premises any longer. Now the client doesn't want to pay that either, so he passes the costs he's incurred onto his customers. They don't want to pay it either and so it goes on until the buck finally stops with the consumer.

You, me and even the parking warden that issued the ticket in the first place, because he or she is in exactly the same boat you reading this are in that they have to shop and use banks in the same way we all do. So taking that to its logical conclusion parking companies, because they are all privatised now will, in the end, pay for the tickets that they issue. What a pointless and futile waste of time that is!

It does however make a valuable point. Beating the system, however foolproof you think your idea is. However long you get away with your idea, however much money you personally make from 'Beating The System' the system will always prevail in the end because it has a knock on effect like the ripples from a pebble being thrown into a glassy pond. You who are clever enough to 'Beat the System will in the end pay more for your goods and services because of the damage that 'Beating The System' does to society.

Society makes no allowances for people who think 'Out of the Box' in this matter. You got away with it - fine. Society will just take what it didn't get from you from somebody else until the merry go round comes round again to where it started from and you will pay in the end!

The only possible thing that 'Beating the System' can possibly give anyone is a short lived gratification that they did it. The question is - At What Cost?

Answer 2

The best way to beat the system is to cleverly use one or more features of the same system for a different purpose than designed for. While it does prove a weakness in the system, it also signifies a creative, out of the box thinking on the part of the person who finds out how to beat it.

Answer 3

With these good thoughts in your mind, the best possible way that comes to the view to beat the system would be in joining the system first of all, with a clear objective to eventually play a leading role in its structure, functioning, maintenance and progress.
