Tournament: The Tournament of Champions | Round: Quads | Opponent: The Entire Pool | Judge: Frank B Wilderson III
So like, if you find yourself wondering about what I'm reading and you know I'm not going for Baudrillard or funditionality or something, then shoot me an email at "fnc.byoung@gmail.com". 

I recently cleaned out my gmail inbox, so any email should stick out like a sore (insert appendage here).

If all else fails, I'll almost instantly respond to a Facebook message, I don't get that many, so I'll get pretty excited if I get the notification.

Off case

Global capital has entered into the era of cognitive labor – an affective process of subjectivization that transforms their intellectual production into the fuel for neoliberal economics. Even if the content of their interrogation is radical it ignores the form of debate as a semiotic economy which precludes its potential

Their activism participates in the circulation of semiotics, global capital is not threatened by their pleas for change but instead vampyrically siphon it as a way of shifting to more insidious forms of subjecitvization—only a strategy of withdrawal and collapse can change the form and content and capital

The knowledge production of the 1ac has already been cycled through and processed by the Academy so their aff is non unique. The debate then becomes a question of why present the aff in a space of debate. So if we prove there is any chance of offense to their presentation you vote neg. Means you can vote neg to vote aff in order to reject the affs placement within academia, but still endorse its content.

Vote negative as a strategy to uncover the banal nature of the university — the insurrection is here and we refuse to believe that debate will make the university a better place. Of course our role as debaters necessarily implicates us, but that is precisely the point—we must occupy spaces like debate to expose the futility of reform.
