If anything has ever given me direction/a path in life it’s probably randomness and odds of something, so should I start a cult of probability?

The Rationalist Community kind of beat you to it.
I’m not going to bother explaining to you why you shouldn’t, because Robert Evans has a multi part series on it over at Behind the Bastards.
Edit to add: there’s actually more than one multipart series on cults started by rationalists obsessed with probability. People have actually died.
Super interesting will look into these are the same guys that made the bezos and his college life one that was quite funny
The AI cult and the Zizzians are the episodes you’re looking for.
And I recommend the Dollop as a chaser, any of the baseball episodes. 10 cent beer night is the best one but save that for one of the episodes where Robert says it’s one of the darkest ones they’ll ever do.
