Generic - Fw - Ext OwTournament: Western JV Novice Championship | Round: 1 | Opponent: St Ignatius NW | Judge: Lily Kinnear Death outweighs for 3 reasons –1~ A~ You don't have any wellbeing if we're all dead B~ Reversibility - Someone who died can't come alive again C~ Objectivity- body count is the most objective way to calculate impacts because comparing suffering is unethicalImpact calc – extinction outweighsMathematicsMacAskill 14 ~William, Oxford Philosopher and youngest tenured philosopher in the world, Normative Uncertainty, 2014~ | 3/12/22 |
Generic - T - ImplementationTournament: Philhistorian | Round: 1 | Opponent: Golden State LK | Judge: Hari Ganesh TInterpretation: The aff must defend a policy implementation'Resolved' denotes a proposal to be enacted by lawWords and Phrases 64 Permanent Edition Violation: The affirmative is a general statement, not a proposal or implementation.Standards –Limits – A~ By not reading a plan they broaden the scope of what they are debating instead of specifying their advocacy – that justifies tricky perms and aff condo which decks fairness. B~ They over-limit their ground by not following the resolution which decks predictability and fairness.Clash – They make it impossible to clash with the affirmative – A~ They can shift out of anything I say if they don't defend a concrete advocacy and B~ It's impossible for me to come up with arguments against you if you don't defend the resolution – I only prep for the resolution and there are infinite other advocacies you can read.Legal precision – We should focus on the specific definition of words in the resolution – words have precise meaning and if you don't follow it it's impossible to understand what they are saying – using exact definitions is key to participating in analyzing governmental positions and making changes in the real world which takes out the reason we are debating in the first place.Paradigm – A. Fairness is a voter – debate is competitive and otherwise people quit. B. Education is a voter – key to school funding. C. Drop the debater – key to normset. D. NC theory first – the aff started the chain of abuse. | 3/26/22 |
Generic - T - No ImplementationTournament: Western JV Novice Championship | Round: 3 | Opponent: Marlborough MJ | Judge: Elleora Svoboda Interpretation: Affirmatives must not defend the implementation of an action.Resolved in context of the resolution is a statement of value.UPitt n.d. – University Of Pittsburgh Communications Services Webteam, copyright 2015-21, "Basic Definitions," Department of Communication , https://www.comm.pitt.edu/basic-definitions CHO "Is" is a linking verb – no implementation since it's a description.GM n.d. – "Linking Verbs," Grammar Monster, https://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/linking_verbs.htm CHO Violation: they defend a planNegate for limits and ground – justifies infinite unpredictable advantages which overstretches research spiking generics. And, words have precise meaning, meaning that following and understanding definitions is key to making changes in the real worldParadigm – A. Fairness is a voter – debate is competitive and otherwise people quit. B. Education is a voter – key to school funding. C. Drop the debater – key to normset. D. NC theory first – the aff started the chain of abuse. E. DTA on 1AR shells – they can blow up blippy shells in the 2AR but I split time and can't preempt the 2AR causing intervention making it irresolvable so don't drop me. F. Reasonability on 1AR shells – 1AR theory is aff-biased because the 2AR gets to line-by-line with new answers | 3/26/22 |

JanFeb - PIC - CylindersTournament: Western JV Novice Championship | Round: 1 | Opponent: St Ignatius NW | Judge: Lily Kinnear Text: The appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust, with the exception of the development and deployment of O'Neill Cylinders. States should divert additional funds to development of the O'Neill Cylinder.O'Neill Cylinders are on the way, but funding and companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are key because governments are insufficient.Kanchwalla 11-13-21 ====This permanently solves extinction, which outweighs the affirmative. ==== | 3/12/22 |
