If you don’t buy that “meditation → root access”, then it is not nearly as obvious that meditation is dangerous.
The phrase “root access” would suggest that you can in principle fix all the problem that you cause the same way you can just install new software on a computer to which you have root access.
I think a better analogy is you as a local LLM having root access to the computer it’s running on. If you brick it, you’ve also broken the substrate that facilitates the process by which you’d naively unbrick—the terminal commands you’d use no longer work!
