I have couple of issues with this .. one that survival is fundamental .. I think we are more altruistic than selfish ..and not without a good reason .. altruistic behaviour allows us to form bigger groups which in turn enables survival of the species  .. which basically means , we sacrifice individual ( including our own selves ) for the sake of group ..

When it comes to group , the most important aspect is value exchange mechanisms.. in essence the tenets of value exchange mechanisms - such as decentralisation , permission less , open .. make group just and thus such groups grow in size .. versus those that stay under a controlled model ..

As regards to language , I think value exchange models always follow the new mode of communication.. for example Barter followed spoken language , gold followed written word and now Bitcoin is following the digital flow of information ( internet) ..

In other words , the discovery of newer and more efficient ways of communication essentially end up or is geared towards  better methods to exchange value ..

Our ability to exchange value connects us all into a single organism .. in essence , we are eight billion nodes or 100 trillion synapses each working hard towards a common purpose ..  as long as our value exchange protocol is open , censor resistant and permission less .. 

Programming such a massive distributed neural intelligence is almost akin to divine will .. no single narrative may hold this massive compute for long .. and this compute always need more and more exciting narratives ..  in essence , we are seekers . .. thus survival is not of the fittest , it is of the seeker .. 

Among all this , fearing artificial intelligence is like being scared of a spark amidst raging California fires :-)
