People consistently regard pleasure and pain as good reasons for action, despite the fact that pleasure doesn't seem to be instrumentally valuable for anything.Moen 16 ~Ole Martin Moen, Research Fellow in Philosophy at University of Oslo "An Argument for Hedonism" Journal of Value Inquiry (Springer), 50 (2) 2016: 267–281~ SJDI Moreover, only pleasure and pain are intrinsically valuable.

Menon 19Menon 19 Prakash Menon, The nuclear cloud hanging over the human race, Nov 15, 2019, ~PhD from Madras University for his thesis "Limited War and Nuclear Deterrence in the Indo-Pak context"~ https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/the-nuclear-cloud-hanging-over-the-human-race/cid/1719608~~# SM Plan Text: The member states of the World Trade Organization ought to adopt the IP/C/W/669 which statesWTO, 25 May 2021, https://docs.wto.org/dol2fe/Pages/SS/directdoc.aspx?filename=q:/IP/C/W669R1.pdfandOpen=True js69 The TRIPS Waiver increases medical RandD global and helps the medical systems in various countries on the verge of collapsing including the healthcare system of India on the verge of collapse which the plan solvesGupta, June 2021 Trips waiver causes global surge of vaccine production due to waiving intellectual property rights meaning aff solves in a manageable timeframeThrasher 21 FramingThe standard is hedonistic utilitarianism. Prefer:1~ Pleasure and pain are intrinsically valuable and empirically verified by neurological testsSkyrms and Narens 20 2~ We have an obligation to prevent death a) lexical pre-requisite – bodily security allows us to make action means it's a lexical pre-req to any other argument b) death forecloses the ability to feel future pleasure means death is bad under a utilitarian calculus3~ Actor specificity – a) government actors don't have knowledge as to the effects on specific individuals which means only aggregates can be used for calculation b) intrinsicness – focusing on intrinsic factors to policy such as aggregation is better for topics that aim to make a policy actionExtinction 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 recut by js69 2~ Future improvement – extinction removes possibility for future innovation or allowing development of systems or evaluation3~ Lexical pre-req – extinction removes actors ability to act which means extinction effectively kills any moral evaluationUnderviewAff gets 1ar and AC theory to deter infinite abuseInterp: The negative must concede the affirmative framework if it is hedonic utilitarianism. Violation: It's preemptive1~ Time skew – the negative can propose a framework which aff offense can't function under which moots 6 minutes off of the AC – time skew ow on reversibility because we don't get time back and ow on quantifiability as time is the only objective way to weigh fairness2~ Strat skew – neg can read a framework where my offense negates – skews my strategy – util is a very common framework who everyone preps for – means doesn't moot neg strat3~ Prep skew a) the affirmative disclosed the framework on the wiki which gives the negative plenty of time to plan a coherent strategy b) the affirmative can't prep out infinite potential negative frameworksDTD to deter future abuse – Fairness is k2 effective evaluation – CI for competitive equity – No RVI as NC could hedge 13 minutes on shell which kills aff strat1~ Aff gets 1ar theory to prevent infinite abuse. DTD to set norms. CI as reasonability has no brightline. No RVI as to not chill theory. Fairness is a voter as debate requires competitive equity and absent fairness exclusionary practices are justified. Education gives us external benefit to debate.Permissibility and presumption affirm: ~a~ We always default to assuming something true until proven false, or it would be almost impossible to make any claim at all because if the entire burden of proof is to show truth and ~b~ if agents had to reflect on every action they take and justify why it was a good one we would never be able to take an action because we would have to justify actions that are morally neutral ie drinking water is not morally right or wrong but if I had to justify my action every time I decided upon a course of action I would never be able to make decisions.MethodThe role of the ballot of the ballot is to vote on the best affect-based policy action1~ Broad scenario planning —- the future is uncertain, but scenario planning allows better analysis to create more effective policy in given conditionsSchühly and Klein 20 2~ IR and human nature are intertwined to explain power maximization that seen through evolutionary scienceJohnson and Thayer 16 3~ Strategic Constructivism – affect based politics are key to calculating rational decisions and contextualizing problems to solutions for progressBaird 18 The card continues:Baird, T.
