Thank you!

Ah, that makes sense, thanks. I'll do it once I am on my computer (also currently on phone)

My guess is that this is a result of the import from the old wiki, where that section made more sense. I would make sure all the linked posts are tagged and then remove that section (currently on phone, so can’t do it myself).

What's the purpose of having the "blog posts" section? shouldn't they just be tagged so they appear in the post list?

Compartmentalization is keeping information and processes within your mind segregated, especially in ways whichthat keep knowledge possessed by some of your reasoning processes being accessed by other processes.
 

From an alternative angle, one can think of compartmentalizing one's different activities or domains from each other. when one couple the skills or habits from one to another, e.g., the religious scientist who does not apply scientific thinking outside the lab. 

One might even have excellent epistemological performance in one domain and terrible performance in others.
