No need to have finished the book (so many people don't attend for this reason!). You are most welcome to come along if you'd simply like to learn more about the concepts which Julia Galef discusses.

Book: The Scout Mindset: Why some people see things clearly and others don’t by Julia Galef

In the book, Galef argues for what she calls a scout mindset: "the motivation to see things as they are, not as you wish they were". The scout mindset emphasizes curiosity, unbiased truth-seeking, and facing reality, even if that reality is unexpected. Galef contrasts this with a "soldier mindset", which she says is a natural tendency to use motivated reasoning to defend one's existing beliefs instead of being open to changing them.
