Reflect on compartmentalization and how it relates to concepts
Compartmentalization is a human mechanism. It allows us to divide and sort information in our minds, enabling faster thinking in certain situations.
For example, when we see an object in front of us and recognize it as a chair (as opposed to a table or something else), our minds store the fact that this is a chair separately from all other information.
The same happens when we categorize people into different groups (e.g. male or female, young or old, white collar or blue collar).
This process of compartmentalization, categorization and labeling things is very useful for faster information processing.
However, we must keep in mind that the world is only an illusion of our inner minds.
In reality, all the things we perceive are just patterns of information processed by our minds.
