What would be the definition of information you are using in this example?

Re: Fallacy of misplaced concreteness
Hi designtheorist,

When the desire to learn is absent, it is usually because a mental abstraction (such as "no religious person can be a scientist") is held to be true in a concrete and physical sense.
​
The desire to learn becomes absent when beliefs become fact and is then presented as fact with a religious vigor.
​
The world is a stage and there are many pulpits that a message can be preached from and this is just one of them.
​
There are a lot of preachers here but I have yet to meet a debator here.
​
No one wants to debate as all have come to the conclusion that he who screams the loudest is right and nothing else matters.

God Bless,
