OCCAM’S RAZOR: GROWNUP ANALYSIS OF PRIGOZHIN EVENT
Possible theory on what went down.
by damianoram @damianoram
– Prigozin didn’t have any political ambitions.
– He just wanted out, because Backmut was a useless meat grinder.
– In Africa he had a much better business with much less risk.
– The Russian Ministry of Defence would not let them go and strike at them if they tried.
– The only way out for him was to get rid of Shoigu and make a show of strength.
So…
– He stockpiled ammunition pretending the MoD wasn’t sending any.
– Did the most outrageous thing possible clarifying that he wasn’t against Putin but against Shoigu (giving Putin an out in the negotiation)
And….
– FSB and others in power potentially stand to gain by weakening Putin but not by having Prigozin as a new leader. – FSB didn’t oppose him during the “coup” because they knew that what he wanted was just to negotiate amnesty and exhile for himself and his people.
– Some of business in Africa may be related to the same people who didn’t oppose him during the “coup”. This increases the odds that it may be in someone’s interest for him to get back to it. (This is speculation)
Possible next steps:
– The people who are ready to make a move on Putin are now waiting for the fallout from the “coup attempt” to see a real opening.
– They need to re-open to the west for business to resume.
– The narrative of the war being useless started by Prigozin will give them an excuse to retreat from Ukraine (this is me hoping)
– They are (hopefully) looking to talk to security services in the west so they can establish trust, clarify their objectives and have legitimacy

CD: This is the most parsimonious pragmatic explanation that satisfies the incentives of all parties to act as they did. In other words, Occam’s Razor doesn’t get much sharper than this.

LEARNING FROM THE RUSSIAN CASE STUDY
(revolutions)
It’s very difficult to envision this ‘mutiny’ succeeding, but we can still learn a few lessons if it doesn’t.
We have repeatedly organized more than 25,000 men, the same number as Prigozhin, and that’s less than the 11-15,000 by Isis during their rapid capture and raids.
Revolutions are very easy to start, and very difficult to stop.
In Anglo tradition, revolutions require changing the law – and the courts, the people, and Congress do the rest. We don’t need to chop off heads, because we operate by rule of law, not rule by man.
The USA is not any more complex than any other government in its vulnerability to large numbers of revolutionaries.
Because of our geography and fragility, we are more vulnerable to revolution than other countries.
To avoid all bloodshed, only 2M men are needed to issue demands for moral reforms for the benefit of the people.
Because action against those numbers is impossible without justifying the revolutionaries.
I’ve done a relatively peaceful revolution.
America is heading for an unpeaceful one.
Unless cooler heads organize a peaceful one.
So lessons are worth learning.

CHICAGO SCHOOL SYSTEM FAILURE
It’s IQ.
It’s the wrong method of educating children equally
It’s the teacher’s union that takes the money for low quality teachers at the cost of not educating our children.
Topics:
– Race Notenic Evolutionary Differences
– Race IQ Differences
– IQ Ability Differences
– Chicago School System Demographics
Race Differences:
Cause: Neotenic Evolution and Underclass reproductive suppression by climate and resources pressures
Races and IQ’s:
1. Africans: 50s, 60’s, 70s depending on subgroup: there are at least three African macro populations.
2. South Eurasians: MENA/India 85 extremely consistent.
3. Europeans: 100 (lower south and east, higher north and west.)
4. East Asians: 105
5. Hybrids: everyone else: predicted race averages.
IQ vs Ability:
1. Unemployable < IQ 85,
2. IQ 90+ Consistently Employable, Learn by imitation and repetition
3. IQ 105+, Learn by following written Instructions, basic mechanical repair and tool use.
4. IQ 115+ Lower STEM(college), Learn by reading
5. IQ 125+, Upper Stem. Self Learning.
CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL DEMOGRAPHICS:
35.8% Black (IQ 85) ….. 63%<90, 91%<105, 97%<115
46.7% Hispanic (IQ 89) 53%<90, 85%<105, 96%<115
(the gap)
11% White (IQ 103)……….19%<90, 55%<105, 78%<115
4% Asian (IQ 106)………..14%<90, 47%<105, 72%<115
And that’s assuming a normal distribution of each race in the school system, when in Chicago it’s likely biased to the lower end in every case. So while nationally these IQ numbers are correct, they are very likely worse in the Chicago school system, vs say, the Arlington VA school system.
SOLUTION
In other words, the kind of education people need in each race, at least outside of white and east asian, requires far more repetition, and probably far more of a game structure, with larger time in physical exercise, to achieve maximum results. And we know it’s possible, because we’ve seen group do it, when they are at least above the 90 threshold.
Different people and different groups need different education because of different neoteny, resulting rates of maturity, and genetic class (IQ).
