Part 1: Mutation (2:50)
First, our body is an ever-changing mass built upon millions of years of random mutation through the inevitability of evolution, Haviland:

Second, our ability to experience the world and how we experience the world is constrained by evolution and adaptive pressures, Haviland 2:

“Adaptation to arboreal life involved changes in primates’ sensory organs. The sense of

Third, speech and language are conditioned by evolution, Haviland 3:

Part 2: Culture
Cultural adaptation came into play with brain evolution which resulted in changes in the span of individual lifetimes, Haviland 4:

This inevitable conflict is true, this means ethics goal is not to reduce conflict, but to work with violence in order to produce truth. Ethics is the product of violence. This culminates in an ethical state of nature in which the sovereign must define laws to give ethics, Parrish ’05:
Parrish, R. "Derrida's Economy of Violence in Hobbes' Social Contract." Theory and Event, vol. 7 no. 4, 2005. Project MUSE, muse.jhu.edu/article/244119.

The sovereign’s will is most direct in the Constitution – 2 reasons
The Constitution has the ultimate authority when it comes to law, U.S. Constitution:

All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution,

First, their use of educational spaces as a sites of empowerment places the judge into the role of the authoritarian adjudicator who molds students in accordance to a particular political end. This kills any conception of critical citizenship and turns their performance, Rickert:

“An example of the connection between violence and pedagogy is implicit in the notion
AND
cynical distance toward the writing produced in class.” (299-300)
Second, unquestionable models of overcoming oppression that justify themselves through self-reference require a rigid vision of resistance where the judge prescribes the student an imperialist model of education. Instead we should open debate for constestability, Rickert 2:

that is a fundamental cause of voter and participatory abstention in America today.
Methodological pluralism is key to reliable decisions and critical thinking. No one angle fits all situations. This justifies a perm from a methodological standpoint even if the positions are post fiat exclusive, Bleiker ’14:
