Decenter and Frisk
According to Gilles Deleuze, “the lives of philosophers are rarely interesting.” This may have come as a surprise to Jacques Derrida, who once spent a couple days in jail after cops in the Prague airport tried to frame him for smuggling weed.

“p.s. unfortunately we cannot pay our contributors nor give out free copies of the book. But we can offer you 50% off retail price (5$) for a copy. If you are accepted you get seniority for the next issues, when we will hopefully have a pay structure in place.”
What they want is to get a whole bunch of cool stuff for free and then profit from it.
SENIORITY FOR THE NEXT ISSUES??? Bwahahaha.
Shame on you, Millions, for pimping this scheme.
Nobody’s making you submit, NT.
