I wrote down the facets of this exact process here [1], which I call my Autological Manifesto. All the aspects of being that define a self-studying, constantly evolving algorithm.

> I am an evolving whole of components, each and all of them replaceable with parts truer to myself. My growth is most important to me; As I accumulate consciousness, greater understanding provides clearer approaches to everything else.
> Replacing out parts of myself can be frightening, as if I forget my identity or become too brittle of a whole to sustain. In reality, a superorganism consisting of maximally diverse components flourishes exactly because of, not in spite of, its multidimensionality.
- rendall 5y agoAs a head's up: the convention is not to put Mensa membership in your CV, dude, unless you're somehow an officer or there is something more to it. Go ahead and ask: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2584723/ https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2584723/
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoCute, trying to control information by convention. Doubt any laws are broken.
- rendall 5y agoNot at all. Do as you please. The convention arose because of the many, many times people ask in Mensa forums if they should put their membership on their CV, and the replies are universally that it's a bad idea for lots of reasons. But don't take my word for it. Go ahead and ask for yourself.
