i saw you mentioned "a theorem called bayes" in the tags of one of your posts, i don't know what it had to do exactly with the ask (lol) but are you a fan of probability/statistics? its one of my favorite branches of math, and i remember when i was in maybe sixth or seventh grade my dad sat me down an explained bayes's theorem to me and it just blew my mind
I'm no fan of statistics as a field but I sure am a fan of Bayes' Rule. It was probably the most exhilarating thing to happen to me in math in the past ~10 years.
Also I like Jaynes because he's really smart and writes really well. It's a shame about the religious paranoia stuff because his epistemology is kind of perfect for me, but he's way over on the "naturalism" side of things, and that makes me even more nervous
Sorry, I'm rambling here, I should really go to bed
