I love contributions like yours and pmontra's, I really do. It's a huge hobby of mine to find, read about, correlate, compare, distill and share similar, and at times not so similar, concepts from different industries, disciplines and ages.

I really don't know why it's so, so, satisfying to me. Probably I am on the more extreme end of the spectrum, as I assume most HN readers are, of the dopamine-driven reward of information, which brings me to the link and quite I wanted to share ;)

> The general function of dopamine is to promote exploration, by facilitating engagement with cues of specific reward (value) and cues of the reward value of information (salience). This theory constitutes an extension of the entropy model of uncertainty (EMU; Hirsh et al., 2012), enabling EMU to account for the fact that uncertainty is an innate incentive reward as well as an innate threat.
