This is the third chapter of my book “The Construction of Reality.” It’s first draft, so not completely edited, and is a reward for reaching a milestone in our fundraiser. The next milestone is $8,350 (a little over $2,000 from the last milestone), and will include chapters:
5. Identity and Identification (how we expand our bodies beyond our physical selves)
6. The Ritual (how we create identification)
7. Interaction ritual (how daily life creates identification and personality)

CLERK: Hi, Mr. Gordon. We’ll just get you checked in here and discuss options. For the oil change, we have standard oil, high mileage, and our premium full synthetic blend.
ME: I’ll take full synthetic.
CLERK: Okay, good choice. We’ve got your cabin air filter here, it’s a bit dirty, as you can see. Want it replaced?
ME: Sure.
CLERK: Great, this is going well. While we’re talking filters, your engine air filter, fuel filter, and transmission filter are a bit old. Would you like any of those replaced as well?
ME: Do all of them.
CLERK: Wow, no one’s ever said that before. You don’t play games. So, uh … let’s talk about your engine health.
ME: Yeah, let’s do that.
CLERK: Really? Excellent. We can do an engine diagnostic test, radiator coolant fluid exchange, and a serpentine belt and radiator hose replacement.
ME: Replace every belt and hose.

The group's mission is to focus on contributed modules where a maintainer has not updated to the next major Drupal version. This includes modules where the maintainer has requested assistance as well as modules where the maintainer is no longer active. This effort will benefit the entire Drupal ecosystem. This group will have elevated privileges on Drupal.org like those that exist for the Security Team and Site Moderators.
