""Probability does not exist." This provocative quote is by the Italian statistician and probabilist Bruno de Finetti. It encapsulates the core idea of Subjectivism or Bayesianism a major school of thought in probability. De Finetti argued that probability is not an objective property of the world (like mass or temperature). Instead it's a measure of an individual's degree of belief about an uncertain event based on their knowledge and evidence. Essentially he meant that a "50% chance of rain" doesn't exist in the clouds themselves; it exists in the mind of the meteorologist who assigns that"
