Actually, there already is stuff that's far more refined (and empirically true) than Ayn Rand. It's called evolutionary psychology. Unfortunately, understanding it leaves one feeling rather unedified. It's like realizing that you've been a pawn in somebody else's game, and will continue to be one until your life ends. With Ayn Rand fans, this kind of message doesn't seem to be in demand.

Saying that evolutionary psychology is more true than Ayn Rand is damning with awfully faint praise.

Any good links/more info on evolutionary psychology?

Steven Pinker's papers and books, although you have probably already encountered those.
