1 - NC - KantTournament: Loyola | Round: 4 | Opponent: Immaculate Heart BC | Judge: Abhishek Rao 1The standard is consistency with a Kantian system of equal and outer freedom:Agency is constitutive and inescapable since to engage in anything one must engage in agency. Even when agents attempt to assess whether they should participate as agents, they are closed under the operation of reflective rational assessment. Thus, agents must be able to pursue their ends independent of the choices of others or else their reasoning wouldn't produce an action and wouldn't be practical.That justifies universalizable endsabsent universal ethics morality becomes arbitrary and fails to guide action, making ethics uselessa priori principles like reason apply to everyone since they are independent of human experience andany non-universalizable norm justifies someone's ability to impede on your ends i.e. if I want to eat ice cream, I must recognize that others may affect my pursuit of that end and demand the value of my end be recognized by others. This also makes universalizability a side-constraint on ends-based frameworks.It's impossible to will a violation of freedom since deciding to do would will incompatible ends since it logically entails willing a violation of your own freedom. Constraints are necessary to retain the value of freedom which implies that one cannot hinder the freedom of others.To clarify:~1~ The standard evaluates actions based upon their intrinsic nature, not foreseen consequences:~A~ To account for all foreseen impacts would prevent action because individuals would become morally culpable for all actions and states of affairs not just those that factor into the will~B~ Induction is circular because it relies on the assumption that nature will hold uniform and we could only reach that conclusion through inductive reasoning based on observation of past events and~C~ Prediction is impossible. Any action can lead to a domino effect that can have disastrous impacts in the end. For example, if I drop a pen, it could land on a Faultline triggering an earthquake.Prefer the standard:~1~ Performativity—freedom is the key to the process of justification of arguments. Willing that we should abide by their ethical theory presupposes that we own ourselves in the first place. Thus, it is logically incoherent to justify a standard without first willing that we can pursue ends free from others.Negate~1~ Intellectual property allows for individual autonomy and maximum respect of freedom for all.Kanning 12~Kanning, Michael A., "A Philosophical Analysis of Intellectual Property: In Defense of Instrumentalism" (2012). Graduate Theses and Dissertations. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4094~~//RaZ ~2~ All subjects have the right to protect their property; it's universal because anyone can patent something that hasn't been patented before.Dyke 18~Raymond Van Dyke, July 17, 2018 ,"The Categorical Imperative for Innovation and Patenting" Raymond Van Dyke has been an intellectual and technology attorney and consultant for over 25 years, specializing in IP procurement, prosecution, IP portfolio building and management, licensing, legislative advocacy and expert witnessing.

There are no "genomic medicines", genomic medicine is a discipline not types of medicines.Read your own solvency advocate – they talk about CRISPR and gene editing practices not discreet forms of medicines or substances or drugs. The words "Genomic medicines" doesn't appear in their solvency advocate at all.NHGRI 20' The Standard is Limits – They explode the topic to include therapies, research areas, treatments, etc. that eviscerate a stable locus of predictability. Limits is a sequencing question to Clash and in-depth Education since we're only able to prepare if there's stable core controversies.Paradigm Issues – a~ Topicality is Drop the Debater – it's a fundamental baseline for debate-ability. b~ Use Competing Interps – 1~ Topicality is a yes/no question, you can't be reasonably topical and 2~ Reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention and a race to the bottom of questionable argumentation. c~ No RVI's - 1~ Forces the 1NC to go all-in on Theory which kills substance education, 2~ Encourages Baiting since the 1AC will purposely be abusive, and 3~ Illogical – you shouldn't win for not being abusive. | 9/5/21 |
2 - NC - KantTournament: UT | Round: 5 | Opponent: Northland Christian LD | Judge: Brett Cryan Ethics must begin a priori, from our most basic conception of ourselves as agents.1. Is/ought gap – experience only tells us what is since we can only perceive what is, not what ought to be. But it's impossible to derive an ought from descriptive premises, so there needs to be additional a priori premises to make a moral theory.2. Empirical uncertainty – empirical world is unverifiable – an evil demon could deceive us, dreaming, simulation, and inability to know others' experience make empiricism an unreliable basis for universal ethics. Outweighs since it would be escapable since people could say they don't experience the same.3. Transcendental Idealism – what we see is not what is, but our representations of reality – only a priori knowledge is a lane to truth.Kant 81 (Immanuel Kant, never left his hometown, Critique of Pure Reason, 1781) 4. Authority – practical reason is the only unescapable authority because to ask for why we should be reasoners concedes its authority.Next, the relevant feature of reason is universality – any non-universalizable norm justifies someone's ability to impede on your ends i.e. if I want to eat ice cream, I must recognize that others may affect my pursuit of that end and demand the value of my end be recognized by others which also means universalizability acts as a side constraint on all other frameworks. It's impossible to will a violation of freedom since deciding to do would will incompatible ends since it logically entails willing a violation of your own freedomThus, the standard is consistency with the categorical imperative.1~ Strikes fail to fulfill dutyFourie 17 Johan Fourie 11-30-2017 "Ethicality of Labor-Strike Demonstrates by Social Workers" https://www.otherpapers.com/essay/Ethicality-of-Labor-Strike-Demonstrates-by-Social-Workers/62694.html (Johan Fourie is professor of Economics and History at Stellenbosch University.)

2 - NC - UtilTournament: UT | Round: 2 | Opponent: Dripping Springs AS | Judge: Bhowmick, Tanish I strongly negate the resolution Resolved: A just government ought to recognize an unconditional right of workers to strike.The value is morality since ought indicates a moral obligation. The value criterion is maximizing expected well-being which means causing the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.There are two main reasons for this:Everyone does not like painful or emotionally harmful experiences, so naturally we should try to replace these things with good experiences.Things like death and oppression are intuitively bad, and affect everyone, so we should try to prevent them.In summary, if I can prove to you that reducing intellectual property protections would have a good impact on the world, then you should vote for the affirmative in today's debate..Contention 1: EconomyThe Global Economy is stabilizing and set for increases in 2021 but is still vulnerable to shocksWorld Bank 6-8 6-8-2021 "The Global Economy: on Track for Strong but Uneven Growth as COVID-19 Still Weighs" https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2021/06/08/the-global-economy-on-track-for-strong-but-uneven-growth-as-covid-19-still-weighs Strikes hurt the Economy – two warrants:1~ They hurt critical core industries that is necessary for economic growthMcElroy 19 John McElroy 10-25-2019 "Strikes Hurt Everybody" https://www.wardsauto.com/ideaxchange/strikes-hurt-everybody (MPA at McCombs school of Business) 2~ Strikes create a stigmatization effect over labor and consumption that devastates the EconomyTenza 20, Mlungisi.
