I don’t agree with “root access” btw. I do agree you can’t have it both ways: if you think it’s more powerful than a replacement-level healthy habit, then you should also consider that it could be dangerous.
I can try the “access” metaphor. I think of meditation as lowering thoughts from write access to append-only access. Mid-meditation, thoughts can say their thing but then they have to drift off instead of pick up debates with other thoughts.
Vulnerable people may be prone to picking up meditation. Like those with intense mental suffering—think bipolar-level conditions that require psychiatry.
