Why is meditation an infohazard?

Anecdotally seems that way to me. But the fact that it co evolved with religion is also relevant. The scam seems to be {meditation → different perspective & less sleep → vulnerability to indoctrination} plus the doctrine & the subjective experiences of meditation are designed to reinforce each other.
