Probability theory is all “Slow”
Because Probability Theory is non-intuitive, it is perpetually doomed to languish in System II thought paradigms. ... So while we can develop an intuition to speed up our “Slow” thinking, it's still “Slow” (and hard).
Why are probability problems so hard?
Probability is traditionally considered one of the most difficult areas of mathematics, since probabilistic arguments often come up with apparently paradoxical or counterintuitive results. Examples include the Monty Hall paradox and the birthday problem.
Is probability difficult to understand?
And it's unsurprising because, historically, probability is a notoriously difficult topic to teach and difficult to learn, and often teachers are reluctant to spend longer on it than is absolutely necessary.
