This question seeks clarification on any specific qualifications, conditions, or criteria that individuals need to meet in order to become a member of the community. By asking about membership requirements, individuals aim to understand if there are any eligibility criteria related to factors such as age, occupation, location, interests, or affiliations. Additionally, they may inquire about any application process or documentation needed to join the community. Understanding the membership requirements helps individuals determine if they meet the criteria for membership and if they are eligible to join the community, allowing them to make an informed decision about pursuing membership.

The requirements are very subjective. It will be easy to convince yourself that you meet them all. But you should consider all the reasons why you might might not. They include things like:

• Being a lifelong learner
• Not being attached to a particular identity
• Being able to get along with others in a community
• Be strongly motivated by your curiosity
• Being willing to consider different perspectives on literally everything
• Being able to learn from people you disagree with and thank them for it
• Being independently minded
• Being a problem solver
• Being inclined to focus on root causes instead of symptoms
• Not being willing to be a slave to your habituated patterns
• Being able to walk the talk and live your ideals
• And maybe, just maybe being a little rebellious and contrarian in a delightful kind of way
• And definitely having a sense of humor

If you consider all the reasons why you might not be a match and see them as things you need to work on, you may be a perfect match. If you don't see yourself in this list, you may not be happy here. Or you may find just what you need to transform yourself.

These are not ways that we assess you and determine whether to reject you. We don't assess you. It's not a part of what LearnGrowRepeat is all about. And we prefer you to take yourself out of consideration than for us to discover that you're not a match after you have joined. Our application process relies on self-assessment. We want to welcome you and cherish learning and growing together. So don't be worried about being rejected. Unless you are a troll.

I realize the most trolls don't think of themselves that way. So please look inward and reconsider that.

Regarding age, if you are under age 18 we ask that you have your parent's permission to participate. People who are in their 20s and realizing that school didn't teach them anything about how to interact with the imperfect world, realize that adults are a contradictory mess, and that they have entered a world that is broken in so many ways will find new perspectives that will help them find their path without being told what to think. People who are older and finding that the identities they've assumed aren't addressing their needs or who have deep questions about things and no one to talk to about them will find a wonderful environment to explore. People who are a lot older and who haven't found the answers, go from one model or program to another, or who want to step out of themselves and transform will find a way to reconcile it all and settle down into something that makes sense.

Regarding occupations, interests, affiliations, etc. See the second bullet above. We don't really care about your mundane background, although it might come up in conversation as we get to know you. We care about your insights. Some people identify so strongly with their occupations, interests, affiliations, etc., that they can't consider other perspectives. This is a problem that will hold you back. But if you are more than your occupation, interests, affiliations, etc., and want to consider other points of view, then come in and be welcome. The same is true for all of us already here.
