My intent is for this meetup to be accessible and interesting without
any prior reading.
(Also, I apologize for not sending this out earlier. Please don’t let
my procrastination about sending it out turn into you feeling bad
about not reading stuff, because I really had intended the reading to
be optional from when I started planning the meeting.)

However, if you have time and feel like doing some reading, I suggest these articles as starting points: http://lesswrong.com/lw/85x/value_of_information_four_examples/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/aa7/get_curious/
And, if you feel like doing some more reading, you can search for “curiosity” on LW, or go for these: http://lesswrong.com/lw/jz/the_meditation_on_curiosity/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/9m2/the_neglected_virtue_of_curiosity/
