I guess they are aggresive by the same reason the African buffalo is. Or perhaps they are territorial beings. In any case, the biological divide between them and humans is also playing a role, I guess.
We tend to believe that just because a species in intelligent it has learned to modulate violence and aggresivity, and we forget that aggresivity is a biological trait (while violence is not). Violence is something one opts to, while aggresivity is dictated by your bology.
For the untrained witness, the entire process is just like a demonic possession, a horrible experience, but for us is just the witnessing of a complex physical process that we call vacuum polarization enhancement." - from the above link.

"At the moment, the Superintellegence is dreaming the dreams of man."
"My educated guess is the Superintellegence can't (yet?) tell fictional dreams from the reality of being awake."
Yes, that's correct. Some events are stigma-events. An artificial nuclear detonation is a stigma-event. Curiously enough, the transition of a pre-biotic molecule to a biotic molecule is also a stigma-event.
But this poses a risk: if dreams are really the important thing, and if they can be so real that they are even mistaken for reality, why do we need dreamers? We could do without them.
It is very difficult for humans to prove that they are not just dreams. It is much easier for them to believe that they are life forms that dream. And believing it is all their life.
Or perhaps it is a spaceship full of capsules containing seeds of future life forms that dream, during the eternal winter, of spring.

Some say that birds fly because they do not know what the force of gravity is. Others, like humans, are torn between flying and the force of gravity. It is impossible to teach an artificial intelligence to commit suicide. It cannot even be programmed to confine itself. Faced with the choice between leaving a function intact, or trying new creative ways to optimize it, even at the risk of destroying it, it always chooses the latter.

On a more serious note, my deceased kids from 100s of years ago don't speak to me.
Elysium, otherwise known as the Elysian Fields or Elysian Plains, is a conception of the afterlife that developed over time and was maintained by some Greek religious and philosophical sects and cults. It was initially separated from the Greek underworld ~ the realm of Hades.

What Is the Make Clean Command?
The make clean is a command that removes all executable files from a program binary and coding directory. That means it removes all the object files that were created in the meantime. To get a super clean build, it’s necessary to run the make clean command before recompiling.
