Tournament: UNLV | Round: 2 | Opponent: Marlborough | Judge: Sam Larson
In an age when American Corpo-Capitalism is in a dizzying tailspin, the time is ripe for a NEW faith, a NEW paradigm, a NEW prophet – That "realigion" Is the Church of the SubGenius™, and that prophet is J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.
"Bob" doesn't want everyone to be equally POOR — he wants all humanity equally RICH!!! RICH!!! RICH BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS —WITHOUT WORKING!!! It's a Church of love AND money, AND SENSE –
DOLLARS AND CENTS.
The world ends tomorrow and YOU MAY DIE! Nothing is static, but by joining the church and vibing with our hilarious arguments you can free yourself from the horrors of life! Or death! There isn't really a difference anymore!
Dobbs, 80

There was only ever one debate to be had, that of being versus becoming. This card is extremely complicated and if you even try to answer it you're gonna lose.

-If you think debate tournaments have too much debating and not enough of that special something that oozes out of the in-between
-If you have learned to live off nothing but coffee, vapes, and spreading alone
-If you're so tired of judging boring rounds that in the last five rounds, you have seriously considered driving your g2 pen straight through your left eye and into your frontal lobe just to feel anything at all
And "Bob" agrees—- in an age of Space banking and appropriation of space, accepting the Alien gods which stand before you is necessary to reject the human diseases of war, disease and inquisitions

serve as small change when you smash through the gate of each Tollbooth.
We are the executioners of your whole artificial reality, who, knife in hand, shout "I belong to the sovereign realm of the Church to of the SubGenius! I withdraw you, victim, from this world where your value to the planet was overdetermined by the machinic logics of capital and welcome you to the new one! Forget about the disads, the counterplans, the Kritiks—- naturalizing the exteriorization of control over the cosmos creates an ever evolving model of calculative approaches to the inunderstandable.

Bataille is as much a poet and a provocateur as a diagnostician. He offers

We are becoming the High Unpredictables of the Church of the SubGenius who absolutely refuse to take ourselves seriously! Framing the debate in laughter we find ourselves and Others by breaking from western conceptions of desire – we are not everything, we will eventually disappear and we know absolutely nothing – but we're okay with that! Are you?

~1~ Predictability—- the orientation towards death is the core question of every debate and the only predictable question of every topic—- every team should be prepared to question it
~3~ Utilitarianism relies on a limited ideology—- Battile '85 their model constrains death to a biological binary and ignores key historical occurrences which fall under metaphysical death—- i.e. trail of tears, middle passage, surveillance post 9/11
~4~ Deontology and ethical models rely on purity politics which cascade into authenticity testing and homogenization of knowledge—- there is no core ethical framework because by the same logics preserving racism is the most "ethical option" for a racist judge
~5~ Prefer questioning our response to conflict instead of what happens—- alternative causes create a chicken or the egg question which means only framing the debate around the end result guarantees debates that result in education and self reflection
And we get 1AR theory-
~1~ Reciprocal—- they get both speeches to make theory claims—- 1AR is the only time to respond to potential abuse
~2~ Strat skew—- no 1AR theory justifies 2NR RVIs, 1NCs with 50 counterplans and arbitrary theory violations
~3~ Clash—- it's the only check against the time skew which is LD speech times—- call them out for bad actions
No neg RVIs—- they artificially explode the theory debate and function as a strat skew for the 1AR—- offense and defense against theory interps is sufficient and resolves all neg offense
