Hello
I've only been aware of this site for about a month. While i find the articles and discussions enlightening, probability theory is still very new to me. Once i have a more intuitive grasp of its implications I plan to participate more heavily
Hi
You may be interested in Eliezer's Intuitive Explanation of Bayes' Theorem.
Or Kaj's What Is Bayesianism? for a more intuitive version.
You don't actually need a good grasp on probability theory to participate here. I certainly don't have a good grasp on Bayesian statistics. A lot of the discussions here are qualititative.
Anecdotally, the most strongly upvoted articles tend not to be specifically about math and statistics, but rather about meta-thinking issues: how insights from AI, cog sci, stats, social science and so on can help improve our thought processes.
