The System Is Rigged to Delay or Deny Access to Most
And It’s Always Dressed as Opportunity
I used to think I was just one step away.
One deal. One intro. One “right room.”
But the closer I got, the more the steps stretched.
That’s when I realized: the ladder wasn’t broken —
it was designed to keep me climbing.
And the people at the top?
They’re not climbing anymore.
They’re pulling the rungs up behind them.
I’ve Played Both Sides
I’ve worked the grind.
I’ve watched others skip it entirely.
I’ve built things.
I’ve been used to build things for others.
And somewhere in that mess, this line got stuck in my head:
Making money with money makes money. Everything else feels like a grind.
I used to believe in hustle.
Now I believe in access.
Because that’s the trick.
They don’t need to block you.
They just need to slow you down —
until it’s too late.
Delay Is the Design
Nobody says it out loud.
They don’t have to.
It’s already baked into the mechanics:
- Want to invest in something meaningful?
Sorry, not “accredited.” - Want leverage to grow?
Show assets you were never allowed to build. - Want mentorship?
Either pay for it, know someone, or wait a decade to learn the hard way.
It’s like a game where the rules shift every time you get close.
They win.
You wait.
The Worst Part?
They’ll applaud you for waiting.
They’ll celebrate your loyalty to a system they never had to navigate.
You’ll get praised for your patience inside a maze you didn’t design.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not late.
You’re just not inside the circle —
And they hope you stay there long enough to stop asking why.
What Took Me Years to Admit
The system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as intended.
It’s not chaotic.
It’s not mismanaged.
It’s engineered.
To delay or deny access.
To keep you busy, hopeful, hungry — but never quite fed.
And if you do start to see it?
They’ll offer you a slightly better version of the same cage:
More perks. Better snacks. Shiny titles.
Still a maze. Still not yours.
So What Now
No neat answer.
I’m still walking my own exit route.
But I know this:
The moment you stop trying to “win” inside their structure
is the moment you start building your own.
That moment?
That’s the real shift.
Everything before it was just a warm-up act for someone else’s show.
TL;DR
- The system isn’t broken — it’s working as designed.
- It delays and denies access while pretending to reward effort.
- Financial access, mentorship, and opportunity are often reserved for insiders.
- The grind isn’t noble; it’s manufactured scarcity.
- The exit isn’t up — it’s out.
FAQ and some further Thoughts
Why do people believe in the system if it’s designed to stall them?
Because it rewards hope with small wins. And because the alternative — admitting it’s rigged — is too heavy to bear for many.
Is there a way out?
Yes, but it’s not in playing harder. It’s in stepping off the board entirely and building from outside the structure.
How do you spot the delay mechanisms?
They often sound like protection: “You’re not ready,” “You need more experience,” “You need more sales,” “You don’t qualify yet.”
Is this just about money?
No — it’s about power. Money is just one of its most efficient disguises.
What’s the first step?
Stop mistaking the maze for the goal.
