1 - Spikes KTournament: Any | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Their obfuscation and the use of spikes is antiethical to the ethic of intellectual integrity, TORSON 13 Intellectual integrity is the biggest impact- it’s the point of debate. TORSON 13 Reject the 1AC’s use of spikes to embrace argumentative responsibility- you know what you did wrong and know you better own up to it. TORSON 13 | 2/17/17 |

3 - Extinction NCTournament: Harvard | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harrison MZ | Judge: Chris Vincent
2. Adopt a parliamentary model to account for moral uncertainty. This entails minimizing existential risks –even if their framework is true – Bostrom 9. 3. Rational capacity connects people across time and makes willing extinction contradictory. Humanity has a right to exist— anything else excludes infinite future generations, which outweighs their impacts on scope. Prefer this evidence – it establishes our standard as a meta-framing issue and takes their entire framework into account – Cerutti 14. 4. Pain provides a metric for why oppression is bad. Gray 09 5. Talking about extinction scenarios – allows us to resist the biopolitical power of the state and unites us. Schatz 12 | 2/19/17 |
JF - Climate Change Denial CP V1Tournament: Harvard | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harrison MZ | Judge: Chris Vincent Lavik 16 Universities are key - students are unable to become members of society who actively combat the harms of climate change. The counterplan solves. Valentine 14 Climate change denial is constitutionally protected speech regardless of its falsity Olsen 15 Climate change denial is preventing tangible change. Lavik 2 University’s have a uniquely key role in fighting climate change. Snibbe 15 Proliferation of fake news such as climate change is a hoax leads to authoritarianism and provides a pretext for violence – turns the AC. Liasson 16 Corporations fund efforts to sow doubt and lies with tobacco smoke and climate change. Lavik 16 Turns the aff – Giroux literally says neoliberalism is a tool used to cause oppression since corporations prefer profit over morals – and this is a classic example, Climate change outweighs on structural certainty of extinction –if we ignore climate change it is certain to permanently destroy civilization – experts agree it outweighs and turns every other impact Scranton 13 Prefer it – only this explicitly compares each risk with in-depth probability analysis, expert input, and comprehensive consideration of all risks, which impact comparison in a debate round can’t do And probability outweighs timeframe – constant focus on short term crises means we ignore structural problems that guarantee extinction. Other risks resolve themselves – if they don’t happen now, they don’t happen at all – but warming will only get worse, so it’s the most structurally certain impact Warming causes structural violence Cuomo 11 Climate change denial bans are empirically successful in catalyzing productive discussion.

ND - Cap KTournament: Any | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Eagleton 11 The affirmative’s legalistic approach to police violence brings us further away from recognizing the economic forces at work that makes police violence inevitable. Lane 7/21. Civil suits put an asking price on people’s suffering. Abel 81 Tort law commodifies suffering as loss of earning power – kills value to life. Abel 81 Commodification is the worst impact under Levinas – we treat the other as equivilant to currency, which denies its value and opens it to infinite violence. This turns the aff – police violence is a direct result of neoliberalism. A failure to recognize that makes violence inevitable. Lane 7/21 Lane outweighs the aff – we allow the other to be violently subjugated. Tort law and neolib’s commodification of life anonymizes suffering, which kills our ability to recognize the other. ZIZEK AND DALY 04 The alternative is an embrace of class-consciousness as a method of critiquing neoliberalism’s grip on policing. LaVenia 15 The role of the judge is to be a critical analyst testing whether the underlying assumptions of the AFF are valid. This is a question of the whether the AFF scholarship is good – not the passage of the plan. Neoliberalism sustains itself by operating by propagating a narrow lens of what it means to be ‘political.’ We situate the judge as a critical educator who steps back to evaluate the frames through which we view policy first. Reps prior. Blalock, 2015 | 2/18/17 |
ND - T ConsequentialismTournament: Any | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Interpretation- The affirmative must defend act or rule util. Violation: His aff says “generic util turns do not apply”
A. Turn Ground- If only intent/phil based offense links to the standard then no negative ground links to the aff because they can always say that consequences don’t matter. Abstract ideals are incontestable goods- literature reviews that implementation difficulties are the only arguments to debate about B. Stable Ground- the 1AR can defend material consequences or defend intentions/philosophical implications of their affs against Ks, they can also skirt out of generic turns and DAs which also inherently prove that they are bad. Ground key to fairness- ensures both debaters have equal access to args 2. Topic Literature Qualified immunity doesn't exist independent of empirical legislative decisions and police officer conduct- empirical actual focus is key TLR 4 2004 Texas Law Review "NOTE: The Paradox Of Qualified Immunity: How A Mechanical Application Of The Objective Legal Reasonableness Focused topic education outweighs A. Reading a framework and policy solves phil ground- our interpretation allows for negative frameworks to be read B. LD is a values debate isn’t responsive- 1. That commits the is-ought fallcy, just because it is a values debate, doesn't mean it ought to be, 2. That makes an empirical claim without an empirical warrant C. Timeframe- we have 2 months to discuss the topic- but we can always get phi led from other places D. Debate’s strategic incentives bastardize phil debate E. Phil debate creates unrealistic phil decisions F. Comparitive ethics debates are useless- in the real world people argue how actions apply under ethics G. philosophy is structured in a way that it is responsive in one direction i.e. Hegel is written in response to Kant, but not vice versa, smart negs will pick responsive fw’s without ground against them, only util allows answers from both sides. | 2/17/17 |
