A man who sees every situation — from ordering coffee to predicting market crashes — as a probability puzzle waiting to be formalized. Follow his journey into the art of thinking in probabilities.
ProbMan doesn't teach you Bayes' theorem from a textbook. He walks through Monday morning decisions using it — and by Friday, you'll think in distributions too.
A test comes back positive. What's the probability you actually have the disease? Spoiler: it's not what your gut says. ProbMan unpacks Bayes' theorem in a hospital waiting room.
Startup with equity? Stable corporate job? ProbMan builds an expected-value model weighing salary, growth probability, and personal risk tolerance.
Outdoor wedding in 3 months. Should you rent a tent? ProbMan models conditional probabilities — if it's June, given historical data and climate trends.
How early should you leave? ProbMan runs a Monte Carlo simulation of 10,000 commute scenarios to find the 95th-percentile arrival time.
8 friends, one check. Who ordered what? ProbMan applies probability and game theory to the classic "splitting the bill" dilemma.
How likely are you to end up on a video of someone's cat after clicking one link? ProbMan models it as a Markov chain with states: News → Meme → Cat Video.
Every scenario follows the same pattern — and you'll start noticing probability everywhere, just like ProbMan does.
ProbMan encounters a real situation — mundane, funny, or consequential.
He identifies the random variables, events, and what's uncertain.
Using probability tools — Bayes, distributions, simulation — he quantifies the situation.
Armed with probabilities, ProbMan makes a decision and reflects on the outcome.
"The world doesn't speak in certainties. It speaks in distributions. Learn the language, and everything becomes clearer."
