"Carus in 1893 also published The Religion of Science2, which further aligns with the above. First, he establishes that religion is the conductor of man, while science is the search for truth. And, logically, the Religion of Science then relates to conduct of man being regulated by scientific discovery. "

As we’re about to kick off the second Based Book Sale of the year, it’s worth revisiting what we do at the Based Book Sale Substack and why. From a few months ago, here’s an interview I did with Alex Macris all about the Based Book Sale.

Situation in southern Lebanon as of May 9, 2026 - Western Sector:

The IDF has intensified their ground operations in southwestern Lebanon, making new progress in three different areas.

In the northwest, Israeli forces cleared the remaining part of Chamaa while other forces captured the two hills south of the village.

To the east, the IDF cleared the eastern outskirts of Tayr Harfa and advanced east, capturing the neighbouring village of Jebbayn, thereby linking up with forces operating in Yarine and Oum Touteh. From there, they pushed further east down the road to Chihine and the fields to the east in the direction of Salhaneh, where demolitions are now ongoing.

To the south, Israeli forces crossed the international border from Arav Al-Aramsha, capturing the southern ruins of Dhayra opposite the border, and clearing the hills in the pocket to the east.

+ ~16.67 km² in favour of the IDF.

Dr. Pierre Kory exposes a massive media anomaly. He reveals over 100,000 articles were published globally about Hantavirus in days.

He confirms this massive coordination is entirely unnatural.

It’s Covid all over again, except this time a lot more people are awake.

"Year after year, the chemicals traveled in water discarded during manufacturing from mills across northwest Georgia, eventually reaching a river system that provides drinking water to hundreds of thousands of people in Georgia and eastern Alabama.

"The pollution is so bad some researchers have identified the region as one of the nation’s PFAS hot spots. Today, the consequences can be found everywhere. PFAS, often called forever chemicals because they can take decades or more to break down, are in the water and the soil."

"Borderers are the reason that the American south is the place where everyone wants to live now. And Borderers are why the American cowboy west is still free and fighting. They founded both cultures; so desperate and degraded, one-third died on the voyage. Our clans, the most common Anglo names in both countries, were so ruined by the Crown, their lands overrun with one war after another, they became known as the fiercest fighters in Europe for several hundred years. They had no choice. Theirs were the first surnames not drawn from a profession, a lord, a village. They were known as The Names, and they had fought for their sliver of independence for five hundred years. As a result, never bet against a northern Brit, and I include the Irish in this. This splinter off the human race is more responsible for freedom, innovation, creativity and to-the-moon or bust energy than any other. They are the root of MAGA."

"From May 20-26, there’s a Based Book Sale happening — a whole week of indie titles from writers who actually have something to say, priced at free or $0.99. When I say “based,” I mean it in the fullest sense: well-grounded, principled, committed to the good, the beautiful, and the true, even when (especially when) that puts them at odds with the crowd.

"I’m excited because Mumbai Singularity is going to be part of it for the first time. If you’ve been meaning to check it out, this would be a good week to do it."
