Hi. Would any of the lurking pomos be willing to offer a brief
explanation of why the decentered, constituted subject is supposed
to be less of a metaphysical presumption than, e.g., the

In the past, multinationals used the "periphery" of the global system to
test drugs, now, with their comrades in arms, look to testing pricing
strategies for the virtual workspace/civilspace, using the same periphery.
