Someone at work said we should use "folks"... But I'm not a Loony Tunes ending screen.
I call everyone nerds, and yall may think, not everyone is a nerd. Wrong.
Remember that jock from the football team, ask them about about sports betting. You will get a better lesson in sports statistics than you would by taking a college class. Everyone is a nerd about something.
You count every single protein you eat to get swole? Nerd.
You strap hard rate monitors to yourself to run a 10km? Nerd.
You go to concerts of your fav rapper and buy and wear his merch? Nerd.
You don't do anything that's interesting, but go to the screws and bolts plant every workday at exactly 6:30, wear the same blue dungarees, get off at 15:00, wash your hands with your favourite extra strong, lemon-scented, degreasing soap? Nerd.
You know which grain of wood you can glue together and which way it should curve to not trap moisture and rot? Nerd.
More comprehensive, yes. But everything will only superficially resemble probability (or worse, statistics), without any idea zeroing on the real thing.
Alternatively, you can ask a crystal-hippie about quantum mechanics. Oh, well... we have LLMs nowadays, you can ask them anything.
