	7	+==== WE BEGIN WITH A STORY. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, a princess in a society powered by titular wind farms, has just discovered the Tolmekian—human—God Warrior, symbolic of a nuclear blast. A nuclear blast that this 1AC reads Hayao Miyazaki noting as the inevitable outcome of our overreliance on technological domination of nature. But the God Warrior is defeated by the Ohmu, symbolizing nature’s wrath. The Ohmu go too far, however. On the verge of the Ohmu’s destruction of all Nausicaä holds dear, she must convince her fellows to understand nature, its wrath, and our essential relationship to it. It is the Ohmu and Nausicaä’s focus on understanding the importance of our relationship with the environment that I identify myself—ourselves—with. We’ve lost track of the mythic commons, the land and sky through which Nausicaä treks and soars. ====

	27	+==== We today are Tolmekians—we cling to nuclear power to solve our problems, we refuse to understand the importance of our relationship with nature, and we fail quite miserably at trying to break from the false conception of fairness, morality, and value that structures our society. ====

	29	+==== The Tolmekians cared not for the people of Nausicaä’s valley—we today refuse to grieve for Native American lives lost to nuclear power. What else shall we do—shall we start a Ceramic War? Or shall we return to the wind, to the waves, to the valley? ====

	46	+
	47	+==== Experience begins with the mediation between subject and object. The necessary ground of experience entails that objects are partly known through concepts, but the object is prior in that it is not wholly reducible to concepts. Philosophy that avoids this starting point cannot generate knowledge claims. ====

	53	+
	54	+strategy Adorno attempts to demonstrate the irrationality of the reified version of experience.
	55	+
	56	+==== Enlightenment thought evades its commitment to the mediated priority of the object—its attempt to know moral facts through a rational conceptual schema that reduces the objects of moral judgment to moral knowledge makes its knowledge-claims groundless. This groundlessness is the consequence of a set of historical pressures that attempts to demythologize and rationalize the world. ====

	64	+
	65	+==== There is a crisis in reason—rationality is dialectically dependent on myth to supply its content. There is no intrinsic end to which rationality can aim, since reason is not self-sufficient; reason cannot supply its own determinate end since the mediation between reasoning subject and judged object gives priority to the object, which cannot be reduced to conceptual categorization. ====

	73	+
	74	+==== But, reason can account for its imperfect mediation of objects to concepts in two ways: either it reduces the object to the concept, and loses its ground for making knowledge-claims at all, or it identifies flaws in how its concepts capture the object and produce its features—correcting these flaws in the concepts we use to mediate the world starts with critiquing our moral concepts, like freedom and empowerment, without assuming a goal for which reason is instrumental. ====
