ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses that the compartmentalizing qualities of the boundary of place, in part because they fit the psychological idea of compartmentalization. It discusses that the geographical boundedness as compartmentalization because the term is also used to describe building boundaries in the minds. It begins with the understanding that place and its capacity to compartmentalize is a double-edged sword. The boundedness of place-its compartmentalization-is a pivotal part of the geopsychological dynamics. Drawing on a wealth of ethnographic and archeological information, Peter Wilson, in the Domestication of the Human Species, argues that a major watershed in human history was the development of relatively stable and permanent partitions or walled-in structure0073 within a community or settlement. Eating too is part of the process of escapism, but in a more complex way. The chapter discusses that the important contrast between Jefferson's struggle to not be self-deceived and Hitler argument that self-deception is a virtue.
