Rand built her system for the world she had. This bin extends Resilient Objectivism into the territory that world didn't include — artificial agency, the ethics of refusal, and a labor market she never had to imagine.
- P5.1Objectivism in the Age of AGInot yet published Rand's five domains — metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, aesthetics — tested against artificial general intelligence: does AGI participate in that load path, or force its redefinition.
- P5.2Consent Withdrawnnot yet published The moral design of revolt and refusal — withdrawal of consent from illegitimate authority as a principled, structural act, not performance.
- P5.3Dignity After Displacementnot yet published Autonomy, earned agency, and non-transferable judgment in a post-labor economy — the rupture in status, purpose, and self-authorship as large swaths of work become interchangeable.
Change Log
- 30 Aug 26 — revised: removed (RSS-accuracy retrofit) -- no genuinely substantive edit exists in this file's history since 14 August 2026; every prior post-publication entry is administrative (readability trims, front-matter retrofit, filename/case fixes, pure reorganization with no lost content).
- 16 Aug 26 — Removed the three project descriptions from this page. Each project now carries its own file, and its description lives there as that file's
thesis:— which is what the contents list on this page is built from. The prose here was a second copy of the same list, kept in step by hand. No text was lost: the descriptions moved verbatim into(P5.1)–(P5.3). - 14 Aug 26 — Initial post.
