00 - DisclosureTournament: Berhe Invitational | Round: 3 | Opponent: bruh | Judge: bruh Interpretation: Debaters must disclose round reports on the 2020-2021 NDCA LD wiki for every round. Round reports disclose which positions (AC, NC, K, T, Theory, etc.) were read/gone for in every speech. Interpretation: Debaters must disclose all constructive positions in cite boxes on the 2020-2021 NDCA LD wiki. To clarify, they can’t say check open source. Interpretation: For each position on their corresponding 2020-2021 NDCA LD wiki page, debaters must disclose a summary of each analytic argument in their cases. To clarify – you don’t have to include the full text of each, you just have to substitute them with a few words that summarize the thesis of the argument i.e. ‘actor specificity’ rather than ‘analytic’. Interpretation: If debaters disclose full text, they must not post the full text of the cards in the cite box but must upload an open source document with the full text of their cards on the 2020-2021 NDCA LD wiki. To clarify, you don’t have to disclose highlighting or underlining, you just need an open source document with minimally the full, un-underlined text of cards. Interpretation: Debaters must create a separate citation for each constructive position on their 2020-2021 NDCA LD wiki page. To clarify, you can't make cite entries labeled by round like "R1 Yale NC" or put multiple under one heading. Interpretation: The affirmative must, upon (the release of tournament pairings/flipping for sides), tell the negative what specific affirmative position they will be reading, within ten minutes. | 9/4/21 |

Standards:~1~ Level Playing Field – big schools can go around and scout 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 when you hit 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.Competing Interps over reasonability –a) Arbitrary – reasonability invites judge intervention since we don't know your bs meter o/w since judges can vote on things like race which is exclusionaryb) Collapses – reasonability collapses to competing interps – you justify two brightlines in an offense defense manner like two interpsFrameworks all share equal value. Weighing between them becomes infinitely regressive as it presupposes there is a higher metric to determine who has the better justifications. That means contestation is vacuous which means a locus of moral duty is sufficient since it has an uncontested obligatory power.c) Jurisdiction – even a marginal skew impairs ability to determine the better debater and only competing interps determines that via offense defense – o/w judge evals the round at the end of the debateDTD – DTA doesn't make sense its an out of round violation and No RVI on 1ac theory – they have 7 minutes to answer a minute-long shell and the debate would just end | 9/18/21 |

SO - AC - KantTournament: Yale | Round: 5 | Opponent: Bronx Science NK | Judge: Curtis Chang 1AC1AC – FwrkEthics must be derived a priori –~1~ Uncertainty – 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.~2~ 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.The existence of conditional goodness requires unconditional human worth—that means we must treat others as ends in themselves.Korsgaard 83 (Christine M., ~American philosopher and Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University whose main scholarly interests are in moral philosophy and its history "Two Distinctions in Goodness," The Philosophical Review Vol. 92, No. 2 (Apr. 1983), pp. 169-195, JSTOR) AG *bracket for gendered language ~recut by Lex CH~ Outweighs – All other frameworks collapse—non-Kantian theories source obligations in extrinsically good objects, but that presupposes the goodness of the rational will.Next – Any moral rule faces the problem of regress – I can keep asking "why should I follow this." Regress collapses to skep since no one can generate obligations absent grounds for accepting them. Only reason solves since asking "why reason?" requires reason to do in the first place which concedes its authority.Practical reason means we must be able to universally will maxims –A~ our judgements are authoritative and can't only apply to ourselves any more than 2+24 can be true only for me. ==== B~ Action theory – absent a will, we are just blobs of chemicals – only practical reason makes action coherent, otherwise every action can be split into an infinite number of smaller actions.The only constraint is noncontradiction –The standard is consistency with the categorical imperative. To clarify, consequences don't link to the framework.Prefer –~1~ Performativity – freedom is the key to the process of justification of arguments.
