1 - Util v1Tournament: University of Houston Cougar Classic | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Coppell HA | Judge: Panel The standard is maximizing expected well-being – to clarify, saving lives. Calc indicts don’t link—my framework evaluates offense— appropriation by private entities is just because it saves lives.1~ Death outweighs— A~ Agents can’t act if they fear for their bodily security—my framework constrains every NC and K and B~ It’s the worst form of evil:Paterson 3 – Department of Philosophy, Providence College, Rhode Island (Craig, "A Life Not Worth Living?", Studies in Christian Ethics. AND the person, the very source and condition of all human possibility.82 2~ 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 take a dying person to the hospital. 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.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. AND notion of legal standing will outstrip the power relations that ground Pettit’s theory. 4~ Extinction outweighsMacAskill 14 ~William, Oxford Philosopher and youngest tenured philosopher in the world, Normative Uncertainty, 2014~ AND with the benefit of keeping one’s options open while one gains new information. Impact calc –1~ Extinction outweighs: A~ Reversibility- it forecloses the aff because we can’t improve society if we are all dead B~ Structural violence- death causes suffering because people can’t get access to resources and basic necessities C~ Objectivity- body count is the most objective way to calculate impacts because comparing suffering is unethical D~ Uncertainty- if we’re unsure about which interpretation of the world is true, we should preserve the world to keep debating about it | 1/16/22 |

Extinction First:1~ Actor spec—governments must use util because they don’t have intentions and are constantly dealing with tradeoffs—this outweighs since different agents have different obligations and takes out impact calculus indicts since they are empirically denied.2~ Reversibility- we can’t improve society if we are all dead3~ Suffering- death causes suffering when people can’t get access to resources and necessities4~ Moral uncertainty – we’ve been fighting about ethics for thousands of years but can’t come to a conclusion – preserving life is firstExtinction outweighs under any frameworkPummer 15 ~Theron, Junior Research Fellow in Philosophy at St. Anne's College, University of Oxford.
