Your definition reads like a sazen to me. A good pointer once you know the concept, but won’t get it across to someone who really hasn’t gotten it yet.
I don’t think there’s any other option. Wholesomeness is something you have to learn by doing. If you try to imitate what you think is wholesome after reading about it, you’ll likely end up in some uncanny valley of weirdly unwholesome behavior even though it has all the trappings of wholesomeness.

I am more optimistic about the power of clear explanations. That’s something I got from reading SlateStarCodex.
Wouldn’t that imply the existence of this essay, available for anyone passing by to read, is a net negative?
Yes. I think that any attempt to explain wholesomeness in written words will be inadequate at best and misleading at worst.
