1 - Round ReportsTournament: Grapevine Classic | Round: 2 | Opponent: Southlake Carroll AS | Judge: Salazar, Davd Interp: Debaters must disclose round reports on the 2021-2022 NDCA LD wiki for every round they have debated this season. Round reports disclose which positions (AC, NC, K, T, Theory, etc.) were read/gone for in every speech.Violation: screenshot in the doc – they have noneStandards:1~ Level Playing Field – big schools can go around and collect flows but independents are left in the dark so round reports are key for them to prep- they give you an idea of overall what layers debaters like going for so you can best prepare your strategy against them. Accessibility first and independent voter – it's an impact multiplier.2~ Strategy Education – round reports help novices understand the context in which positions are read by good debaters and help with brainstorming potential 1NCs vs affs – helps compensate for kids who can't afford coaches to prep out affs.3~ Pre-round prep –1ARs gives especially give an idea of what type of debater someone is – they could go for 1AR theory every round– otherwise I enter every round unknowing whereas you have an idea of what you want to go for from the start – key to good clash4~ Data collection – round reports are key to statistical analysis of LD debateZhang 1/22 Peter Zhang, 1-22-2021, "Disclosure in Numbers by Peter Zhang," Briefly, https://www.vbriefly.com/2021/01/22/disclosure-in-numbers-by-peter-zhang/?fbclid=IwAR0q5uCO74vLhYipH8QEO0PrLhY7CiIOwlEJUWEmnIVdqCmlM-jC4A-8rk0 LEX JB Data collection outweighs on norming – a) allows us to be accurate with our findings to see which norms are good and which norms are aren't b) data collection allows us to see if norming is working – means it comes lexically prior to any shells read in this round~1~ DTD on disclosure – a) disclosure cannot be drop the argument because it would just drop you because you're the norm b) deterrence, also dropping them is key now because it's the beginning of the season which is key to norms creation~2~ Reject all responses to disclosure – they disclose open source which concedes the validity of disclosure being good – anything else is a doubleturn~3~ No RVI on disclosure – a) prevents people from checking back for bad disclosure – means we never get better wikis because they're afraid to lose off the RVI b) they know that people will read disclosure on them so they prep a counterinterp just to win off the RVI – leads to infinitely abusive norms~4~ CI – 1~ reasonability is arbitrary – impossible to know what is reasonable until you establish a brightline 2~ bites judge intervention cuz they have to gut check what they think is good 3~ reasonability collapses cuz u use offense defense to evaluate offense under the BL 4~ norms – you can sidestep norms by selectively choosing a different brightline you meet every round.~5~ Disclosure outweighs – it's key to assessing the honesty of the form of your argumentation and how you presented arguments which means it precludes 1AC claims.~6~ Fairness is a voter because debate is a game governed by rules and you can't tell who actually won if the layer was skewed. | 9/11/21 |
1 - Spec MetaethicTournament: Grapevine Classic | Round: Triples | Opponent: Southlake Carroll SD | Judge: Stuckert, James Interpretation – the affirmative must specify the metaethic of their ethical theory/framework in the delineated text of the 1ACViolation – they don't~1~ Resolvability – Metaethics is a key question when debating moral obligation – it explores questions that a simple "the standard is" can't solve for – that's also a reason to vote negative on substance because it's a reason I couldn't truth test itSayre-Mccord 12 ~Sayre-Mccord, Geoff, 1-23-2007 substantive revision Thu Jan 26, 2012, "Metaethics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)," No Publication, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/metaethics LEX JB~ ~2~ Extinction – the question and discussion of metaethics is key to solve collapse and extinction of the galaxy, discussion is key – we have at best 40 more years and it won't wait for us to have sloppy phil debatesMuehlhauser 11 ~Muehlhauser, Luke (Executive director at the Singularity Institute). "The Urgent Meta-Ethics of Friendly Artificial Intelligence." LessWrong. 01 February 2011. http://lesswrong.com/lw/43v/the_urgent_metaethics_of_friendly_artificial~~ Reject uncarded responses – study of quantum physics requires evidence from smart scholars~3~ Phil debate – two internal links – a) frameworks fail to provide an ought statement if they don't explore the natural state of agents or the actor in the resolution – independent voter because we can't correctly discuss the moral worth of an action b) I can't ask questions about it in 1AC CX which kills access to novices trying to learn – outweighs on inclusion~4~ Strat skew – two internal links a) absent specification the NC loses access to framework k's, metaethic debate, metahijacks, hijacks etc. for example, a metaethic can be used to frame out a kritik, but the NC loses access to this and the 1AR can shift into one that's reactive b) even if I specify my own in the 1NC, I can't contest yours until the 2NR which means you moot 7 minutes of the 1NC and this cause latebreaking framing debates, and the metaethic debate is skewed 7-6 favoring aff~5~ Engagement – specifying in the 1AC means we can have more engagement about the phil | 9/12/21 |
3 - FW - Util v1Tournament: Yale University Invitational 2021 | Round: 4 | Opponent: Park City NL | Judge: Rao, Anand Framework~1~ Ethics must begin in the external worldA) Action Guiding – anything else means it can't influence action because action only happens externally – abstraction can't explain everyday decisions like the trolley problemB) Naturalism – only moral naturalism can explain the influence of moral facts on the physical worldPapineau 07 David ~Professor of Philosophy King's College London~, First published Thu Feb 22, 2007; substantive revision Tue Mar 31, 2020 https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/naturalism/~~#MorFac C) Evolution – only a naturalistic understanding of the world explains it.Lutz and Lenman 18 Lutz, Matthew and Lenman, James, "Moral Naturalism", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2018 Edition), Edward N. Zalta (ed.), URL = https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2018/entries/naturalism-moral/. Massa ~2~ Ethics must solve the problem of regress, else you can infinitely question why should I follow this? Util meets – 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. ~3~ Extinction outweighsA) Reversibility – we can never improve society because our impact is irreversible which proves moral uncertaintyB) Prerequisite – you can't do the aff if you're dead, threats to bodily security preclude actionC) Resolvability – body count is the most objective way to calculate impacts because comparing suffering is unethical anything else means judge interventionD) Reciprocity – you can weigh your impacts under different frameworks, I should be able to as wellE) Phil education – MacAskill 14~William, Oxford Philosopher and youngest tenured philosopher in the world, Normative Uncertainty, 2014~ F) Uncertainty – we've been debating about ethics for centuries – if we're uncertain we should default to keeping us alive to keep learningThus, the standard is act hedonistic utilPrefer additionally –~1~ Actor Spec – Util is the best in the context of governments which is the actor in the resolutionA) Governments must aggregate since every policy benefits some and harms others, which also means side constraints freeze action.B) No act-omission distinction governments are responsible for everything in the public sphere so inaction is an implicit authorization of actionC) No intent foresight distinction for states.Enoch 07 Enoch, D ~The Faculty of Law, The Hebrew Unviersity, Mount Scopus Campus, Jersusalem~.

Legal Theory, 13(02). doi:10.1017/s1352325207070048 https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/legal-theory/article/intending-foreseeing-and-the-state/76B18896B94D5490ED0512D8E8DC54B2 D) Actor-specificity comes first since different agents have different ethical standings. Takes out util calc indicts since they're empirically denied and link turns them because the alt would be no action~2~ Skepticism – all ethics try to define meaning in action, but they haven't answered why we even try to find a universal obligation. Pleasure is the one naturally valuable thing that's given to us which means it's the only true theory to us as humans | 9/18/21 |
