JANFEB - AC - AgambenTournament: Lexington Winter Invitational CHECK4CITES | Round: 1 | Opponent: Olympia OE | Judge: X Braithwaite AND as principle is subservient to contingency: Dominating outer space has become the sovereign’s next step—to enable privatization, only to further feed the murderous, neoliberal machine within. :^( AND discussed by Nigel Thrift (2005a). Operativity as an ontological paradigm deprives humans of any meaningful being outside of formless substance, in turn reducing life to its bare, pure functionality. The unthinking commitment to maximizing life itself only serves to reproduce historical horrors. :^( AND being whose language places his life in question. (SL: 68-9) Therefore, we affirm: the appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust. AND empty sky of humanity; it is the display of non-appearance as the only homeland of man. (Agamben 1995: 82) The only way to disrupt the state’s sovereignty is to make visible the bodies that have been effaced, exposing the injustices and creating empathy within the population that can lead to revolution. AND as it violently transforms unwilling human beings into rhetorical tools. Death, suffering, and extinction are inevitable. Humanity is a cosmic accident whose consciousness produces its own demise; We will inevitably disappear—but at least a value to life can we maximally enjoy whatever time we have left. AND Is there really anything behind our smiles and tears but an evolutionary slipup? | 2/24/22 |
JANFEB - AC - BaudTournament: UPenn | Round: 2 | Opponent: Fullerton Union AB | Judge: Morris, Andrew between the ‘observed pattern’ and the ‘pattern of observation?’ AND The construction of serious games fosters repetition of dominant models of education, forcing a presumption of neutrality and perpetuating a culture of academic militarism that keeps students in-line with the cultural order. AND that we all want. To make the world mean something, the will to reality, is the generative point of violence. The attempt to sublimate the Evil of irrationality and mystery terminates in its opposite. We are gorged with meaning and it is killing us. The attempt to enclose the globe within semiotic reality begets implosive violence against all singularities. The communicative form of information devours its own content. The amassing of facts and evidence – and especially truth – only makes the world more unreal. AND things appear more real than reality itself. Charity Cannibalism is a voter—absent it, the west would collapse out of shame AND stage its own death as a species. We reject the resolution: the appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust. AND from the outside. Any communicative forum which seeks the creation of meaning sustains a project of speed elitism that maintains subjects as the academic bourgeois – only challenging the form of the construction of thought offers a means to destroy the system AND Chap. 1 and by exploding the impossibilities described in Chaps. 2 , 3 , and 4 | 2/24/22 |
JANFEB - Common AC - LegalityTournament: UPenn | Round: 3 | Opponent: Stuyvesant MZ | Judge: Yin, Shubo AND any act of human or superhuman will. It’s best for education. Learning about the law spills over into all other forms of education. AND they analyse social policy and change. I affirm that the whole res – “The appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust.” Cx and pre-round disclosure requests checks all T and theory, solves shells on aff abuse and incentivizes debating substance over friv theory dumps. I’ll defend the res as a general principle as per NSDA rules – AND valid as a general principle. To clarify, we don’t defend implementation – the wording of the res isnt a question of the hypothetical implementation of the plan it’s a descriptive claim of justice, which implies the burden of the aff is only to defend the truth of the res in general which justifies our interpretation of debate. AND dialectal present tense plural of BE Dialectical present tense “is” means logical coherence which implies no implementation AND exchange of opposing ideas. Private appropriation of outer space is denied under the OST However, it must be said, that nowadays there is a AND emerges in all its relevance. Legal norms must be applicable AND the situation have been apprehended as fully as possible. | 2/24/22 |
JANFEB - Main AC - Space TourismTournament: UPenn | Round: 5 | Opponent: Lexington AS | Judge: Chin, Andrew AND I shall argue that these objections fail. Death is the worst evil AND and condition of all human possibility.82 The advantage is space tourism Every tourist we put in space kills the planet through black carbon and nitrogen oxides. AND really what separates them substantially,” she said. The impact is warming. Space tourism is uniquely bad – destroys the ozone, causes permanent heating, and alters the jet stream. AND rainfall can impact your crop yields. The Montreal Protocol proves climate change can be solved through incremental reform. But further ozone layer damage will send us over the brink. AND change post-2050. Climate change causes biodiversity loss, marine ecosystem collapse, resource wars, global food scarcity, and extreme weather events. AND economic shocks (medium confidence). {2.3.2} Contention 2 AND the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. New investments coming and companies are launching – economic incentives make it alluring AND will undoubtedly be a space miner. Asteroid mining spikes the risk of satellite-dust collisions AND would increase the risk to satellites by more than 30 per cent (arxiv.org/abs/1505.03800). Space dust wrecks satellites and debris exponentially spirals AND Particle-in-cell simulations of an RF emission mechanism associated with hypervelocity impact plasmas Scenario 1 is Miscalc Early warning satellites going dark signals attacks – causes miscalc and war AND "The number of small-size, non-catalogued objects will grow exponentially in mutual collisions," the researchers reported. | 2/24/22 |
