Edit to my post #67799. I take out “worldly altetrnative health movement” and instead say simply when information is used in a limited way to bolster egoism, dogma, or conveyed in a way that obstructs movement into a holistic understanding. Especially when virtues like humility compassion kindness selfless service and truthfulness become compromised and dogmatic egoistic models of interacting increase or become the norm. This is particulary an issue in modern social media but always has the ability to exist in any group or viewpoint because ideology itself has practical uses but when the ideology is seen as “the only way” it hinders growth and produces dogma which can lead to intellectual and moral decline even in the best of traditions.
