What if I talked to him about pebbles and buckets? Did the Greeks have pebbles and buckets? Did they have a word for probable? Or a way to express it? Cause then i would just try to get them to get bayes theorem, and priors, and updating, and bayes networks, through talking about pebbles with different properties in buckets of different sizes. And the whole time say that this is just like belief. Or that in the future, this is epistemology.
I would probably try to explain a bit of Boole to them first, use black and white pebbles. Just conjunction negation, and disjunction. Show them demorgan’s.
I think this would all work as long as i give examples in terms of plain things that were around back then, and let them do the generalizing.
I would hope that if i showed this to the right cat back then, I might inspire some early empiricism.
