Welcome to the 51st Issue of the SHAPE Journal.

The papers gathered here are not about the U.K. Election or Grenfell, Jeremy Corbyn and Chunkymark are effectively dealing with all that very well indeed. But, here am I, nearly blind and getting old, stuck at home! Nevertheless, I am a lifelong Marxist, philosopher and scientist, so what I can do is very different but still, I believe, very important. It isn’t only politics which is going down the hole, but philosophy and science too! And, I can still do that!

This group of papers was written within a fortnight, and puts forward revolutionary ideas within my areas of expertise. They critcize the methods we all use to attempt to understand things.

Methods imposed upon us by the enemies of ordinary Working People. Methods that hide truths rather than reveal them. Methods that cover up for those that have caused the ever deepening crisis that now find ourselves in. Methods that determinely edge us towards War as a solution.

So, though it wont be what most people feel should be done, I am convinced that apart from those who are clearly on our side, the rest of us have been misled in a thousand ways, with lies and confusion, so true human achievements are never part of our delivered News, or our Education to help our Understanding.

So, here is two weeks of what I deliver to the World.
