I am in that minority I guess that obsesses over P&S. If you want a recommendation right now, two most influential books I read are, in order:

* Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists, that showed me how to calculate various percentages and p values and what does statistical testing really means * How to Lie with Statistics, that showed me how easily you can manipulate the numbers to get what you want out of them

Another neat one, albeit niche, is Directional Statistics. Turns out, doing stats on angles and directions is less trivial than it sounds!

I'm the same as you. I hate asking other people, unless it's for a reference or material to learn. I like to grind to understand myself, and then answer questions and explain things via presentations or a drawing board. I never wonder why I'm like that, tho

That said, hardly anyone asks for explanations now. In my team people default to a chatbot for work questions almost exclusively, and in private life for hobbies I share with other people, they increasingly go for chatbots too.

Turns out, not everyone seems to want a human connection.

I wish Claude's raw output was at least moderately edited. This way it feels like I spent time and energy reading something no human wrote

I have a different, more sinister, analogy in mind but yours work as well
