This seems dangerous to me Richard. If we create Vulcans they won't be
able to fully understand us, and that seems like an existential
threat.

I believe that we want AGIs to self-identify as human beings so that
they see themselves in brotherhood, rather than in competition, with
us.

The kinds of insanity that are dangerous are different than romantic
love. Which great emperor has destroyed his people over romantic love,
compared to say personality disorders or hatred of a rival, or
religion?
