JF - FW - UtilTournament: Harvard | Round: 2 | Opponent: Lexington AK | Judge: Charles Karcher FW – UtilThe standard is maximizing expected well-being. Calc indicts don't link—our impacts are bad because as far as we know, it would cause suffering.1~ Actor spec—governments must use util because they don't have intentions and are constantly dealing with tradeoffs—outweighs since different agents have different obligations—takes out calc indicts since they are empirically denied.Woller 97, Gary ~BYU Professor~. "An Overview by Gary Woller"; June, 1997; A Forum on the Role of Environmental Ethics 2~ Pleasure and pain are the starting point for moral reasoning—they're our most baseline desires and the only things that explain the intrinsic value of objects or actionsMoen 16, Ole Martin (PhD, Research Fellow in Philosophy at University of Oslo). "An Argument for Hedonism." Journal of Value Inquiry 50.2 (2016): 267. 3~ No intent-foresight distinction for states.Enoch 07 Enoch, D ~The Faculty of Law, The Hebrew Unviersity, Mount Scopus Campus, Jersusalem~. (2007). INTENDING, FORESEEING, AND THE STATE. Legal Theory, 13(02). doi:10.1017/s1352325207070048 https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/legal-theory/article/intending-foreseeing-and-the-state/76B18896B94D5490ED0512D8E8DC54B2 4~ Only consequentialism explains degrees of wrongness—if I break a promise to meet up for lunch, that is not as bad as breaking a promise to not kill. Only the consequences of breaking the promise explain why the second one is much worse than the first which is the most intuitive. Outweighs—a) parsimony—metaphysics relies on long chains of questionable claims that make conclusions less likely b) hijacks—intuitions are inevitable since even every framework must take some unjustified assumption as a starting point.5~ You don't get the choice to determine death for other people.Paterson 2 – Department of Philosophy, Providence College, Rhode Island. (Craig, "A Life Not Worth Living?", Studies in Christian Ethics, http://sce.sagepub.com) 6~ Only util respects justice by giving equal weight to all7~ Util is a lexical prerequisite to other moral theories. Threats to bodily harm preclude moral decision making preventing moral actors from utilizing other theories. | 3/5/22 |
JF - T - Defend the TopicTournament: Harvard | Round: 5 | Opponent: Lake Highland Prep SV | Judge: Reed Weiler 1NC FairnessA~ Interpretation: The Aff must defend the evaluation of private entities appropriating space.This does not require the use of any particular style or type of evidence — only that the topic and a government policy should determine the debate's subject matter.Appropriate - To take something you don't own without permission B~ Violation: They defend the resolution through the metaphysics of incompletenessC~ Net BenefitsFIRST IS ENGAGEMENT — Debate requires a specific point of difference in order to promote effective exchange—stasis and limits are key to engagement.Steinberg and Freeley 13: David, Lecturer in Communicatio22n studies and rhetoric. Advisor to Miami Urban Debate League. Director of Debate at U Miami, Former President of CEDA. And Austin, attorney who focuses on criminal, personal injury and civil rights law, JD, Suffolk University, Argumentation and Debate, Critical Thinking for Reasoned Decision Making, 121-4 This outweighs other impactsA~ It controls the internal link to any of their offense – their method is only valuable if it is procedurally debatable – they foster a monologue, not a dialogueB~ They force the neg to generics like Cap, Word PICs, or Afropess against their position, which moots the entire 1AC and makes the discussion meaninglessC~ Deliberative debate models impart skills vital to respond to social problemsChristian O. Lundberg 10 Professor of Communications @ University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, "Tradition of Debate in North Carolina" in Navigating Opportunity: Policy Debate in the 21st Century By Allan D. Louden, p. 311 SECOND IS PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS – their position explodes ground, limits, and predictability. They can defend anything from Wilderson to Baudrillard, or uncontestable statements like one plus one equals two, to "racism is bad" – the neg can't predict these, nor answer them if the ground is slanted to one side.This outweighs other impactsA~ It skews your evaluation of the round – if their impacts seem true, it's because I couldn't answer them – if someone broke another person's computer, the judge couldn't assess the round fairly B~ Fair starting points are key to dialogue.Galloway 7: Galloway 7—Samford Comm prof (Ryan, Contemporary Argumentation and Debate, Vol. 28, 2007) THIRD IS INEVITABILITY, Exclusion's inevitable in debate – we can't debate every possible position – framework isn't violentAnderson: — Amanda Anderson, Caroline Donovan Professor of English Literature and Department Chair at Johns Hopkins University, Senior Fellow at the School of Criticism and Theory at Cornell University, holds a Ph.D. in English from Cornell University, 2006 ("Reply to My Critic(s)," Criticism, Volume 48, Number 2, Spring, Available Online to Subscribing Institutions via Project MUSE, p. 285-287) FOURTH IS JURISDICTION – the topic is a predefined issue we discuss – key to democracy and inclusionNebel: Nebel, Jake ~Owner and Contributor, VBriefly~ "The Priority of Resolutional Semantics" VBriefly. December 2014. RP Jurisdiction outweighs other impactsA~ The social contract rule – debaters enter tournaments with contracts to debate a specific resolutionNebel writes: Nebel, Jake ~Owner and Contributor, VBriefly~ "The Priority of Resolutional Semantics" VBriefly. December 2014. RP B~ Link turns all of their imapcts –if the neg had no idea they'd be debating a specific topic area, then obviously that discussion won't be as productive.SIXTH, topical version of the aff solves
D~ Voting issueThey don't get to weigh the case against frameworkA~ If we win that you preclude us from substantive engagement with the 1ac, then you will obviously win the case—means you can't cross-apply case impacts or arguments to the other page since we indict your ability to read them in the first placeB~ Framework is a procedural question – all of the claims of the 1AC are substantive but not theoretical – they can't weigh those | 3/5/22 |
