1 - K - CapTournament: Valley | Round: 5 | Opponent: MSJ SB | Judge: Spencer Orlowski CAPThe aff ignores the effects of capitalism on identities — sexual identity was marked as less valuable because queer bodies could not reproduce in the same way heterosexual bodies could — we are winning a sequencing argument that should frame how you view the 1ar responsesHennessy 2k AND into the power of more obvious and perhaps more compelling ways of seeing.

1 - K - CurryTournament: Pres | Round: 4 | Opponent: Mission San Jose SR | Judge: Lukas Krause Academic philosophy is anti-Black – the 1AC’s abstraction from the material consequences of racialized violence absolves white philosophers of their contributions to America’s apathy towards racismTommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass.

Even if they win that their theory is theoretically ideal, it is practically impossible because racialized bodies are marked by their skin color – the psychological construction of Black as inferior makes their impacts inevitableTommy J.

Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 AND or friends who live within their social environment. Academic philosophy operates similarly. Racism deems Black life disposable and demands racialized violence – we’re not an ad-hom that criticizes the positionality or personal views of their authors – their philosophy is actively used as an expression of white supremacyTommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 AND that Black philosophers and graduate students share with whites become more worthwhile topics. This turns the aff – America is organized around the subjugation and death of non-white people – discriminatory applications of their policy are inevitable absent a recognition of racialization in the law – their colorblindness is mutually exclusive with the necessary upheaval of the racial dynamics that necessitate inequality.Tommy J. and Gwenetta Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass. Prof. of Gender and Race Studies @ Alabama~, "On the Perils of Race Neutrality and Anti-Blackness: Philosophy as an Irreconcilable Obstacle to (Black) Thought," American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Vol. 77, Nos. 3-4 (May-September 2018). DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 AND rely on institutional racism to produce social structures that reward and elevate whites. Instead, the alternative is to affirm Black philosophy as a site to engage in radical theorizations that are a genuine reflection of Black experience – attempts at integration commodifies Black philosophers as extensions of white thinkers which waters down Black philosophy to a form for white philosophers to deem respectable scholarship – a fundamental reorientation of the discipline away from universal reason is key.Tommy J. Curry and Curry 18 ~Tommy, PhD, Prof. of Philosophy @ TAMU, Gwenetta, PhD, Ass.

DOI: 10.1111/ajes.12244 AND levels of thought is what is at stake in the Black philosophical project. The role of the ballot is to endorse a pedagogical investment of rejecting racism – they have to win that the aff is not racist to engage in the first place – it comes first because it determines academic spaces and is an accessibility magnifierDon’t evaluate the plan if we win a link: colorblindness is the structuring ideological conflict of debate that pervades the performances and behavior of the community | 11/14/21 |
1 - Th - DisclosureTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 1 | Opponent: Basis Peoria PY | Judge: Jared Croitoru A. Interpretation: Debaters may only read positions that are disclosed before the debate on their NDCA wiki page under their own name with full citations, tags, and first three/last three words.B. Violation: screenshots in the doc my timestamps are weird b/c im on west coast
C. Standards:Quality engagement – disclosure allows in-depth preparation before the round which checks back against unpredictable positions and allows debaters to effectively write case negs and blocks – allows for reciprocal engagement where each side has an equal opportunity to prepare as opposed to scouting capacity to determine success, and incentivizes in-depth debates which is key to clash and good topic education.Reciprocity – the majority of national circuit buys into disclosure and put stuff on the wiki. They get access to cites and cards for cases and prep, which improves quality ground and means they can predict what other people are running, but we can’t predict them proven by they have a wiki but wont disclose. That outweighs – a) every reason disclosure is good is an advantage for them and not me, b) view their counter-interp with a grain of salt since it’s self-serving.Academic Ethics – disclosure deters mis-cutting, power-tagging, abuse of brackets and ellipses, and plagiarism since it allows debaters to check for those issues out of round. Academic honesty outweighs – it’s a real-world norm and debate loses all educational value if we can just make up cards.Deep Research – disclosure incentivizes specific, in-depth researchNails ’13 (Jacob, "A Defense of Disclosure (Including Third-Party Disclosure)", 10/10/2013) AND , backfiles and briefs would have done LD in a long time ago. Fairness- the ballot asks who did the better debating not the better cheating- the round is skewed which prevents evaluating substance their args in cx dont make cxEducation- it’s the purpose of debateCompeting-interpretations- reasonability is arbitrary, invites judge intervention, and collapses into competing-interpsNo RVIs- they chill legitimate theory and are illogical since you don’t win for being fair. You can make you-violates and I-meets and read theory, solves reciprocity supercharged b/c they have a wiki with contact info but wont disclose so they'll have it prepped out. | 12/12/21 |

Disads to the TVA prove neg ground and no right to a perfect 1acSwitch side debate – critiques of liberalism and performance can be read on the neg – solves dogmatism by testing different viewpointsVote Neg – The resolution is the only common stasis point that anchors negative preparation. Allowing any aff deviation from the resolution is a moral hazard which justifies an infinite number of unpredictable arguments with thin ties to the resolution. Because debate is a competitive game, their interpretation incentivizes affirmatives to run further towards fringes and revert to truisms which are exceedingly difficult to negate—this asymmetry is compounded by their monopoly on preparationOtherwise, they have passive opinions without meaningful advocacy – MeToo, BlackLives Matter, and other movements are grounded in particular policies that can help marginalized people – they abstract from those impacts which means movement failure is inevitable and its likely they support worse, dogmatic policies that harm marginalized people more, which internal link turns the aff.Debate doesn’t have any effect on the political and the individual arguments we read have no effect on our subjectivity, even if they spur immediate reflection, those insights aren’t integrated into deep-stored memory—this means you can vote negative on presumption. Encouraging focused, nuanced research and clash is the only chance to change attitudes long term—which means they can’t solve their impact turns but our model can.filter their impacts through predictable testability —-debate inherently judges relative truth value by whether or not it gets answered—-a combination of a less predictable case neg, the burden of rejoinder, and them starting a speech ahead will always inflate the value of their impacts, which makes non-arbitrarily weighing whether they should have read the 1ac in the first place impossible within the structure of a debate round so even if we lose framework, vote neg on presumption. They also create a moral hazard that leads to affs only about individual self-care so even if you think this aff is answerable, the ones they incentivize are not, so assume the worst possible affirmative when weighing our impacts.Ballot Paradox: Placing the decision-making potential within the ballot is violent, since no change spill out of round and makes the judge a violent arbiter of your subjectivity TFW has to be drop the debater – it indicts their method of engagement and proves we couldn’t engage fairly with their affNo RVIs – this includes impact turns and independent voting issues –1 – exclusions are inevitable – we only have 45 minutes to discuss things – doesn’t prove harmful intent2 – T is an aff burden – doesn’t justify them winning3 – forces unreasonable standard of epistemic perfection – bad arguments should be rejected, but that doesn’t implicate the team | 12/12/21 |
