SEPTOCT - Soft Power ACTournament: Grapevine Classic | Round: 2 | Opponent: Hockaday KK | Judge: John Sims 1ACFramework:Attempting to understand beings, communities, and ethics as pure will inevitably fail:1. There is no possibility of understanding people in and of themselves. All identities are understood through the differentiation of social relations, which are by necessity constantly changing. BUTLER:(Judith Butler. 1992. "Continent Foundations: Feminism and the Question of "Postmodernism" Feminists Theorize the Political) A. Ethics has to start with the self – otherwise it can't guide action because its principle doesn't have a claim on what I ought to do. But, there is no single stable self. Any attempt to theorize the self would fail to understand the ontological status of the agent. MILLS:Charles W. Mills, "Ideal Theory" as Ideology, 2005 B. Analytic.Second, discrimination is constitutive of any moral theory because it requires one to distinguish between the ethical and anti-ethical. Differentiation becomes a condition for any decision, so justice is found in violence. HÄGGLUND:"THE NECESSITY OF DISCRIMINATION DISJOINING DERRIDA AND LEVINAS" MARTIN HÄGGLUND ====A. Analytic. ==== ====B. Precedes idealized frameworks. The belief in absolute peace is self-contradictory and justifies absolute violence. HÄGGLUND 2:==== 3. The only way to resolve the inevitable conflict that comes with pluralism in our agency and ethics is to embrace that it is in fact inevitable. This requires an agonistic commitment, which recognizes that conflict is inevitable, but frames the other as a legitimate opponent instead of an enemy. MOUFFE:"The Democratic Paradox" by Chantal Mouffe 2000 DD AnalyticThus, the standard is promoting agonistic democracy. To clarify, the standard is concerned with the procedures of agonistic pluralism, not ends. MOUFFE 2:(Chantal Mouffe, Professor at the Department of Political Science of the Institute for Advanced Studies. June 2000. "The Democratic Paradox") First, educational spaces must embrace contestation as a condition for resistance. Any attempt to exclude challenges reaffirms pedagogical imperialism. RICKERT:(Thomas, ""Hands Up, You're Free": Composition in a Post-Oedipal World", JacOnline Journal,) Second, double bind analytic:A. Analytic.B. Analytic.OffenseSoft PowerThere are two types of energy production – soft energy and hard energy.

This is deeply rooted in a hard energy grid system where energy is produced by large, inflexible reactors.UCS, nonprofit science advocacy organization based in the United States, 2011 Nuclear reactors require centralized infrastructure from waste disposal to regulation.====Paperiello, Regional administrator of Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 2011==== Centralization not democratic.Lovins 2, cofounder and Chief Scientist of Rocky Mountain Institute; energy advisor to major firms and governments in 65+ countries for 40+ years; author of 31 books and 600 papers; and an integrative designer of superefficient buildings, factories, and vehicles, 1976 Contention 2: EmpowermentThe soft energy grid empowers the marginalized and gives them a voice in an agonistic democracy.Lovins 2, cofounder and Chief Scientist of Rocky Mountain Institute; energy advisor to major firms and governments in 65+ countries for 40+ years; author of 31 books and 600 papers; and an integrative designer of superefficient buildings, factories, and vehicles, 1976
Contention 3: TechnocracyThe risky, esoteric, and highly technical nature of nuclear power demands elitism. A ban on nuclear reactors is the first step away from hard energy.Lovins 3, cofounder and Chief Scientist of Rocky Mountain Institute; energy advisor to major firms and governments in 65+ countries for 40+ years; author of 31 books and 600 papers; and an integrative designer of superefficient buildings, factories, and vehicles, 1976

SEPTOCT - Soft Power AC V20Tournament: Greenhill | Round: 2 | Opponent: West Des Moines Valley SC | Judge: Christopher Vincent 1ACFramework:Attempting to understand beings, communities, and ethics as universal will inevitably fail:There is no I without the other. Identity is intersubjective and constructed through social relations, which are always changing. BUTLER:(Judith Butler. 1992. "Continent Foundations: Feminism and the Question of "Postmodernism" Feminists Theorize the Political) A. Ethics has to start with the self – otherwise it can't guide action because its principle doesn't have a claim on what I ought to do. But, there is no single stable self. Any attempt to universalize the conception of the self would fail to understand the ontological status of the agent. MILLS:Charles W. Mills, "Ideal Theory" as Ideology, 2005 B. Analytic.Second, differentiation is constitutive of any moral theory because it requires one to distinguish between the ethical and anti-ethical. Justice is found in discrimination.

The belief in absolute peace is self-contradictory and justifies absolute violence. HÄGGLUND 2:==== 3. Aiming toward consensus is a false goal because consensus is impossible, difference is inevitable and contestation is key. Dividing people up and treating them as enemies is an equally false goal because it denies that the existence of an opposing identity is what constructs yours. The only way to resolve the inevitable conflict that comes with pluralism in our agency and ethics is to embrace an agonistic commitment, which recognizes that conflict is inevitable, but frames the other as a legitimate opponent instead of an enemy because without the opponent, your identity doesn't exist.

Nuclear power reinforces all levels of social division- its centralized, technocratic nature legitimates these views throughout society and corrupts all levels of scientific analysis. Martin et. Al 84
UnderviewUse a truth-testing paradigm when evaluating the resolution. Any assumption devolves into some conception of truth. FREGE: | 9/23/16 |
