It's a bit like how the Spartans (IIRC) taught their kids to lie, cheat, and steal as long as they didn't get caught, because that's how the world works. Unfortunately, this kind of society seems doomed to collapse.
This strategy only works if most people don't expect you to lie, cheat and steal. Once the majority does it, you end up with the massive overhead of a trustless society while not gaining anything.
