William,

Thank you for such a compelling lecture! Your perspective on the probability rabbit hole is absolutely fascinating. Honestly, I’ve never encountered this take on probability before. I’d wager—just a guess—that very few universities are teaching your book Uncertainty or Jaynes’ Probability in their courses. They’re just too far off the beaten path, and that’s a real shame.

When practicing statistics, it often feels like we’re missing the mark on the underlying theory, no matter how rigorously we apply it. It’s always feels off somehow. But your lectures, your book, and Jaynes' work are really filling that gap! I can’t thank you enough—turns out I’m not crazy after all.
