1 - Disclosure - NewTournament: Yale | Round: 2 | Opponent: Valley RT | Judge: Allison Aldridge
2. Discourages tricks – plan text disclosure discourages cheap shot aff’s. If the aff isn’t inherent or easily defeated by 20 minutes of research, the case should lose. The neg is entitled to some research time to make sure the AFF is inherent, topical, and controversial. Otherwise bad AFF’s can win on purely surprise factor, which is a bad model b/c it encourages finding the most fringe surprising case possible instead of a well researched and defensible aff. Vote on substantive engagement: otherwise we’re speaking without debating and there’s nothing to separate us from dueling oratory. It also creates the most valuable long-term skills since we need to learn how to defend our beliefs in any context, like politics. Drop the debater on new affs: Their lack of disclosure makes substance irreparable b/c our entire argument is that we did not have a basis to engage the aff to begin with. Competing interps since reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention based on preference rather than argumentation and encourages a race to the bottom in which debaters exploit a judge’s tolerance for questionable argumentation. | 9/18/21 |

Prefer it:~2~ Util is a lexical pre-requisite to any other framework-threats to bodily security and life preclude the ability for moral actors to effectively utilize and act upon other moral theories since they are in a constant state of crisis that inhibit the ideal moral conditions which other theories presuppose – so, util comes first and my offense outweighs theirs under their own framework.~3~ 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. ~5~ Ethical frameworks must be theoretically legitimate. Any standard is an interpretation of the words of the resolution-thus framework is functionally a topicality argument about how to define the terms of the resolution. My framework interprets ought as maximizing happiness. Prefer this definition:~A~ Ground: Both debaters are guaranteed access to ground to engage under util – ie Aff gets plans and advantages, while Neg gets disads and counterplans. Additionally, anything can function as a util impact as long as an external benefit is articulated, so all your offense applies. Other frameworks deny 1 side the ability to engage the other on both the impact and link level.

Fairness – Debate is a competitive activity governed by rules. You can’t evaluate who did better debating if the round is structurally skewed, so fairness is a gateway to substantive debate.

SO - TTTournament: Yale | Round: 2 | Opponent: Valley RT | Judge: Allison Aldridge anything else moots 7 minutes of the nc – their framing collapses since you must say it is true that a world is better than another before you adopt it. Negate – 8 Good Samaritan Paradox -- affirming negates because in order to say you want to fix x problem, that assumes x problem exists in the first place, thus eliminating nukes presupposes nukes exist which means negation is a prior question 10 The holographic principle is the most reasonable conclusion Permissibility Negates B you believe statements are false until proven true which is why you don’t believe in things like simulations and demons Reject 1ar Theory and independent voting issues as reasons to reject the team, Evaluate the debate after the 1NC and before the 1ar to limit judge intervention and so we can all do our homework. Evaluating after the 1nc means after my speech you look at your flow and extend all of my arguments because there’s no response so you assume they’re true and vote on the dropped truth testing + definitions bc they prove the aff is incoherent or on log con bc the aff wont happen or theory because it means they were abusive and you need to drop the debater | 9/18/21 |
