Probabilistic Thinking is a based on an assumption that the universe obeys the laws of probability. It is thus a model of reasoning and decision-making that, as the name suggests, involves calculating (or reasonably estimating) the likelihoods of identified outcomes to specific actions. Ironically, proponents of Probabilistic Thinking generally concede that, even among the small portion of people capable of calculating (or reasonably estimating) probabilities, just a tiny subset is able to act on those results.
