Systems are often bad / made for manipulation no?
#Question #System #SystemsThinking
Systems seem bad IF by design it moves most of the understanding and choice away from the end user or public (in order to trick them or distance things especially if never aim to educate and help each other help others).
There is a cognitive disconnect with the word 'system' like a system is a neutral or material thing, but since systems are made by mankind, they are made and developed over time FOR VERY POLITICAL preferences / reasons (even if subtle but it's mostly never given away freely or for humanitarian reasons).
--------------------------
THE REST BELOW I ACCEPT IS PROBABLY VERY BADLY WRITTEN BUT IF YOU CAN HACK IT FAST then I think you can take something from it and even reply as the basic disadvantages of system we all probably know!
--------------------------
So if most tech and systems seem to made from Governments (boooo) then a neutral system doesn't really exist though can seem good if developing a water system or boiler unit (some engineers I talked to and was buying parts for said TOTALLY in the end it is not money efficient or work having something you can't repair at double digits per hour / needing boiler repair guy install expensive part when it breaks - and much is sensitive about those things!!),
So flexible or free systems might not exist much as it's all human manipulated for control (let's say) or for very certain outcomes (at best and not in favour of transparency or choice).
I guess I think people are not in control of their life and would prefer it that way...
❓ SO ARE SYSTEMS ARE DOOMED BASED ON LACK OF UNDERSTANDING THINGS?

SHORT TERM VS. LONG TERM SYSTEM
------------------------------
Short-term benefit might be good or 99% from being provided to, but long term will fail or increase to 100% fail in the end because it will 'run out' or others will fail other people and since they are more in control they might decide one day to up the price or discontinue (even if they have a good will it's naturally just not your decision making and more remote/distant/fragile)
Imagine a water well versus a system that needs electricity and complicated devices....
------------------------------
So leaving it to others / not practising is just irresponsibility in the end?
------------------------------
Examples to check if it's better to have or not:
☑️ / ❌ understanding your providers
☑️ / ❌ understanding your Android etc
☑️ / ❌ contributing / participating as part of using things
All the above much more than not... or just less nearer to 0 for end user, and more like 50+/100
------------------------------
OVERALL TLDR question =
☑️ / ❌ leaving to others to make a system more often?
------------------------------
Because that's what systems seem to do - displace things... and though I'm sure it can be changed, most systems are for manipulation no?
Bad actors, malpractice, negligence, ignorance, manipulators and just not being you = why some systems are bad / less optional.
Apart from the natural design aspect and material limits that limit things I'm talking about humans connected to life in general and even why that 'system' exists.
ISN'T THAT LAST SENTENCE A GOOD #QUESTION ?
