Host Felix Mercer explores the century-long war between frequentist and Bayesian probability frameworks — two mathematical philosophies that can't agree on what "70% likely" means. Through medical diagnoses and real-world decisions, discover why your understanding of probability shapes everything from clinical trials to career choices, and why not knowing which framework you're using is dangerous.Loved this episode?
