JanFeb - Moon Treaty ACTournament: Newark Invitational | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harrison TB | Judge: Elijah Smith AC – PolicyAC – FrameworkThe standard is hedonistic utilitarianism. Prefer:1~ Pleasure and pain are intrinsically valuable and empirically verified by neurological testsSkyrms and Narens 20 Extinction comes first – 3 warrants:1~ Moral uncertainty means any risk of extinction outweighs under any frameworkBostrom 13, Nick. "Existential risk prevention as global priority." Global Policy 4.1 (2013): 15-31. (Faculty of Philosophy and Oxford Martin School University of Oxford) Elmer rc js69 2~ Future improvement – extinction removes possibility for future innovation or allowing development of systems or evaluation3~ Lexical prereq – in order for an idea to be moral or immoral it must be perceivable but if life ceased to exist then no idea would be perceivable meaning to maintain evaluation extinction risk must come firstAC – PlanI affirm Resolved: The appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust. The aff does this through the Plan: States will ratify the 1979 MOON Treaty – 22 nations have already signed but nations like the US and Russia haven't – the enforcement is through a resolution of the initial treaty. And for further clarification: States are private entities when acting in competition with othersISA and resolution are normal means and this card explains implementation furtherKoch 18 AC – Drilling – LongAdvantage one is Arms Racing –Scenario 1 is Drilling. The trends of privatization means that the moon agreement is key as it is the ONLY one that can prevent space mining – there is no regulation on space mining means aff is infinitely better than the squoKoch 2 Mining Launching now – not if, but whenTosar 20 Space mining sparks warSkibba 16 Scenario 2 is Aggression.

JanFeb - Moon Treaty AC v2Tournament: Newark Invitational | Round: 3 | Opponent: Peninsula SM | Judge: Jeong-Wan Cho ACAC – FrameworkThe standard is hedonistic utilitarianism. Prefer:1~ Pleasure and pain are intrinsically valuable and empirically verified by neurological testsSkyrms and Narens 20 2~ Actor specificity -a) Actor/Observer Bias – other calculations rely on intuitions and arbitrary evaluation which actor-observer bias takes out as the actor tends to reflect on other intuitions poorly as the actor will always blame other people for their internal selves rather than external factors – means external evaluation key as otherwise it devolves to opinions on actions rather than calculationb) External Attribution – external causes are reasons for actors to act and it is an innate part of human evolution meaning no evaluation is complete without external evaluationExtinction comes first – 3 warrants:1~ Moral uncertainty means any risk of extinction outweighs under any frameworkBostrom 13, Nick. "Existential risk prevention as global priority." Global Policy 4.1 (2013): 15-31. (Faculty of Philosophy and Oxford Martin School University of Oxford) Elmer rc js69 2~ Future improvement – extinction removes possibility for future innovation or allowing development of systems or evaluation3~ Lexical prereq – in order for an idea to be moral or immoral it must be perceivable but if life ceased to exist then no idea would be perceivable meaning to maintain evaluation extinction risk must come firstImpact calc: Harm outweighs pleasure a) people would always avoid pain rather than gain pleasure on an aggregate field b) resolvability – when faced with a choice of either pleasure or pain people default towards less pain as it is more measurable c)Implications: This means reject indicts like util racist as suffering would always outweigh the pleasure from a masochistUse epistemic modesty – this means evaluate the strength of probabilility under a framework times the magnitude under each framework ie Kant defending the right to life at 100 probability would o/w low risk 50 lives impact of utilitarianism. Prefer:A~ Strat Skew – the affirmative can spend 6 minutes on an advantage for the negative to read a framework it negates under or that the offense doesn't apply to.B~ Materialism good – it allows focus on events that impact the lives of debaters outside of this round teaching real solutions and letting debate have spillover into lives and politics.C~ Real world – policymakers must debate with competing frames of knowledge and ideas of morality but the debate is about whether or not you can convince your opponent how much an issue means to you.Reject metaphysics including meta-ethics – they cannot be evaluated and ignore material issuesBeller 21 AC – PlanI affirm Resolved: The appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust.
