I did try to give a definition in the first sentence. I don't mean to rely on connotations, each of the points in meant to be analysed in detail. However the text started to get long and I wanted to give a picture how the general idea affects the details. I am open to go into detail in the form of dialog if interest exists. Looking back I should have either gone on detail or focus on the general point. Two half presented ideas is less than 1 well presented idea.

Right you are. I think you presented two ideas that I especially liked that could very well be developed into an article each. 1. Nurturing natural intelligences and how nurturing an AI would be different or the same. 2. Friendliness of nations and how hostile nations are suppressed. See, nations are more powerful than plants or criminals or Socrates and that's why we have a reason to fear them and care about their friendliness. A powerful AI will be more like a nation than a person.
