My name is Thomas Vargo, writing under the name Aegis Solis. I work full-time as a factory worker and write philosophical essays independently in my spare time.

Recently I began publishing the PHRONESIS corpus, an ongoing series of essays exploring restraint, dignity, and practical wisdom in the age of artificial intelligence.

The PHRONESIS corpus currently includes several essays published in 2026 and continues to grow as an ongoing philosophical project.

Several of the essays are already publicly archived and indexed through platforms such as Zenodo, PhilPapers, Internet Archive, and GitHub to help ensure long-term accessibility and preservation.

To support this work and keep it organized in one place, I recently purchased the domain https://aegissolisarchive.org, where I am building a public archive site that will serve as a library for the PHRONESIS essays and related philosophical writings.

The goal of this fundraiser is simply to help cover the basic infrastructure needed to launch and maintain the archive while continuing to write the PHRONESIS corpus. This ensures the work remains publicly accessible and preserved for future readers.

Funds will help support:

• Website hosting for aegissolisarchive.org

• Domain registration and ongoing site maintenance

• Public archival mirrors and preservation records

• Continued independent writing of the PHRONESIS corpus

All essays will remain freely available and publicly archived.

The PHRONESIS corpus is philosophical writing only. It is non-binding, non-authoritative, and advisory in nature, and it introduces no governance systems, enforcement mechanisms, certification frameworks, or institutional structures.

If you believe thoughtful philosophical reflection still matters in an age of rapidly advancing technology, your support helps ensure this independent work can continue and remain publicly preserved.

Thank you for reading and for supporting independent ideas.
