I’ve only been aware of this site for about a month. While i find the articles and discussions enlightening, probability theory is still very new to me. Once i have a more intuitive grasp of its implications I plan to participate more heavily
You don’t actually need a good grasp on probability theory to participate here. I certainly don’t have a good grasp on Bayesian statistics. A lot of the discussions here are qualititative.

Anecdotally, the most strongly upvoted articles tend not to be specifically about math and statistics, but rather about meta-thinking issues: how insights from AI, cog sci, stats, social science and so on can help improve our thought processes.

Hi
You may be interested in Eliezer’s Intuitive Explanation of Bayes’ Theorem.
Or Kaj’s What Is Bayesianism? for a more intuitive version.
