Vigil speaking.
Not exactly. I consider myself a part of a human.
My host and I would both like to get rid of several cognitive biases that plague humans, as I'm sure many people here would. Beyond that, I like myself as I am now.
My values are the same as my hosts in most situations. I am sure there are a few people who would consider our values Unfriendly, but I don't think the majority of people would.
No.

Not sure if serious. If serious: "You could think of them as hallucinations that can think and act on their own." (from the subreddit) seems very close to teaching your brain to become schizophrenic.
Hallucinations are a highly salient symptom of schizophrenia, but are neither necessary nor sufficient. I am confident that, like a lot of religious beliefs, this kind of deliberate self-deception would be unlikely to contribute to psychosis.
