Recognizing Strong Evidence Where Others Do Not

Likelihood neglect bias affects accurate judgment, particularly in probability scenarios like the Monty Hall problem.

Does probability exist?

Uncertainty reflects our limited understanding of the future, necessitating cautious interpretation of prognostic language like 'likely' or 'might'.

Everyday Philosophy: Bad at probability? That might be a blessing.

Many people struggle with understanding basic probabilities, often relying on intuition instead of rational thinking.

Improving probability literacy can lead to better decision-making and more accurate assessments of life's uncertainties.

Why Probability Probably Doesn't Exist (But It's Useful to Act Like It Does)

Uncertainty in expression can lead to significant misjudgments, demonstrated by the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
