Compartmentalizing is when we mentally separate information or experience from our existing understanding of ourselves and our world and kind of sweep it under the carpet so we don't experience cognitive dissonance anymore. We don't delete it; the information is still there to be accessed if we want to, but it's placed in a separate file and treated as though it exists in a parallel alternate reality.

Compartmentalization sometimes comes into play when a wife discovers that her husband has been sexually molesting their child; she files the information away into a separate container, because the way that information would shatter her world if she held onto it is too frightening and the cognitive dissonance of holding both worlds at the same time too uncomfortable.

Compartmentalization comes in when we're scrolling through our news feed and see something about the horrors that are being unleashed upon Yemen with the help of our government; it doesn't square with the model of the world we've been trained to hold in our minds, so we dissociate it from our model.

It comes in when we remember that we were lied to about Iraq. It comes in when we think about what humankind's way of living on this planet is doing to our ecosystem. It comes in when we think about the fact that nuclear weapons are a thing and that cold war tensions are escalating. It comes in when we are reminded that our government is participating in the torture and imprisonment of a journalist whose only crime was trying to bring the truth out from the locked files it's been hidden away in so we can make it a part of our worldview.

The Empire Depends On Psychological Compartmentalization

THWAITES GLACIER

A hairsplit, widening, says what’s coming. 

It’s the footloose crocodile with an alarm in its belly
that moves in the dark. 

As the wounded piledriver worm, 
hear its teeth grinding.

In the depths of winter something is crying out.

Track it underground to where the line dies out. 
It’s an island breaking up, a cathedral falling.

In their cave at the bottom of the world
a million caged birds are preparing to migrate. 

When they leave, everything will go.

Thwaites Glacier in W. Antarctica is the size of Florida. Observations show that its grounding line is retreating at 1 kilometer per year. When the sea ice holding it back melts, its full collapse will raise sea levels by 2 feet. That collapse is due to start within the next 10 years. We need rapid action to reduce emissions and short-term physical intervention to reduce its impact on our children.

Several climate records were broken in 2019 across the world, including unprecedented temperature highs and extreme weather events. 

Ahead of the launch of the World Meteorological Organization’s flagship report – WMO’s Statement on the State of the Global Climate in 2019 – the agency’s Secretary-General Petteri Taalas sat down with Ben Malor from UN News, and started by outlining some of the main points from the study.
