Statistical (Bayesian) thinking is an extremely underrated way of thinking of almost everything.


Frankly, its overrated. Now you can adjust your priors.


I'm pretty down on it just by association. So many people who are super-into it seem to be doing a lot of that rigorously-wrong engineer-brain thing.


lol yea.

bayesian thinking doesnt come to me naturally.. i have no intuition for it. seems forced. believe me - i have tried. but there are those who are swearing by it.
