Agents lack the ability to fully ground knowledge since people come to their own conclusions, so our perspectives is the most indicative of truth.

As mentioned and affirmed, all things (concepts, words, objects, subjects

Each agent has their own experience that makes their ethics unique, so ethics should focus in closing the gap between agents

Nagel 86 Thomas Nagel "The View from Nowhere" 1986 Oxford University Press https://www.scribd.com/doc/168073579/Nagel-The-View-From-Nowhere-pdf MW
In the pursuit of this goal, however, even at its most successful,

any objective conception of reality must include an acknowledgment of its own incompleteness. 

NC framework outweighs AC. It their framework were true it could only be understood and acted upon through interactions within the community. Any ethic must facilitate inclusion to derive a truth.

Justifying an ethical theory means nothing if the agent isn't included in the discussion. We can only understand and create ethics through discourse.

administrative power is only legitimate if bound to this discursively generated communicative power.

Hate speech is a huge problem on college campuses

It should not be surprising, therefore, that hate crime and hate speech permeate

a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.28

Hate speech preempts the ability for agents to be in an equal discursive position

7. It’s impossible to ban production of Nuclear energy because its occurrence is natural and impossible to limit also nuclear power plants occur naturally Templeton ’14:

What is interesting ... were a constitutivist.
Thus the standard is consistency with the will to power.
I contend that a prohibition of nuclear power would be inconsistent with a will to power.
First, Nuclear power is centralized and funded by the government.
World Nuclear Association 16 “US Nuclear Power Policy” July 2016  The World Nuclear Association is the international organization that represents the global nuclear industry. Its mission is to promote a wider understanding of nuclear energy among key international influencers by producing authoritative information, developing common industry positions, and contributing to the energy debate http://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-t-z/usa-nuclear-power-policy.aspx MW

Yet, the government ... non-proliferation (of weapons).

And, because it is run by the government, it is a way for the government to get to the end of power. 

Second, the resolution forces people to give up nuclear power, decreasing their power - nuclear power is something that gives people power over others. When people have nuclear power, they have power over the communities’ energy because they are the main producer of the power.
