	1	+====We have passed the point of no return. Methane sinks in the arctic, hydro damns have become global warming hotspots due to build up of organic matter, ocean acidification, geopolitical conflict and its associated emissions, the transportation sector, the intensely complicated scale at which climate change functions represents the death of the anthropocene—the fantasy temporality in which humanity was internalized as the driving force of change on the planet. Ask yourself a simple question—how much more scientific proof would be necessary to convince humanity to act as a whole?====

	5	+====As such, modernity operates according to the logic of passive nihilism in which ethics has become a reactive fleeing from extinction. Humanity as an emitting species has come to loathe its seeming incompatibility with the natural world.====

	10	+====The scale of world death reveals academic debate as nothing more than an archive of the margins of an already dead civilization. The only meaning left remains hidden unless we learn how to die.====

	15	+====Rather than come to terms with this fundamental meaninglessness confirmed by climate change, humanity would rather end its own destruction via a war against those deemed responsible for our failed sustainable relationality—the only trajectory in that can result from this ontological impulse towards total control is an all out war on the periphery that is unwilling to stop emitting in the name of modernity’s new eco-crusade.====

	23	+====We still have the power to change our lives by changing what our lives mean. Voting aff means consciously affirming our role as creators of the end of the world. What may seem as passivity in the face of looming destruction is the only ethical decision that allows for meaning for those thrown into an existence characterized by mass extinction.====

	27	+====Living as if we’re already dead is the only path to freedom. Choose to shatter the fantasy of civilization or humanity will cannibalize itself, consuming those parts of itself via a processed of internalized self hatred all the while continuing to live life as usual, ignoring the philosophical weight of our impending doom.====

	31	+====We lack the tools to effectively respond to the crisis of the Anthropocene. Their inevitable appeal to catastrophe is nothing but an emotive training ground to fit the catastrophe within familiar modes of politics and lull the population into fear-laden productivity. Our frantic attempts to resolve such problems merely institutionalize the most horrendous homicidal violence and push us to the brink of war. The only political task left is that of the philosopher who interrupts the absorption of the resonance of fear that greases the wheels of modern power.====
