1 - Fiat BadTournament: Loyola | Round: 3 | Opponent: Carnegie Vanguard LH | Judge: Connor Self 2fiat is a voting issue:~1~ The practice of fiat is ludicrous – nothing they say can be methodologically actualized, making it intellectually meaningless and a bad model for debate – vote neg on presumption.Schlag 90 SCHLAG, PROFESSOR OF LAW @ UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, 90 (PIERRE, STANFORD LAW REVIEW, NOVEMBER) ~2~ Cruel optimism— assumes the ability for an ideal world to actualize, which allows students to generate affective bonds to that world—the inevitable non-actualization of their imagination experiment leaves students in a state of psychosis unable to understand themselves in the world—outweighs on tangibility.~3~ Fiat harms policy-making by ignoring complexities – the AFF just assumes we can imagine some perfect world where the plan exists, when in reality there are different legal barriers, protests and unique processes that happen. This is like the AFF passing gay marriage without looking at right wing pushback. You proactively instill the mindset that change is easier than it is, undercutting grassroots pedagogy. | 9/4/21 |
1 - Induction FailsTournament: Loyola | Round: 3 | Opponent: Carnegie Vanguard LH | Judge: Connor Self Util causes permissibility – negate1.There's always infinite pleasure and pain in the universe—util is incoherent since we can't add or subtract from that.Bostrom '08 (Bostrom, Nick ~Professor at University of Oxford, director of Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, PhD from London School of Economics~. The Infinitarian Challenge to Aggregative Ethics. 2008. http://www.nickbostrom.com/ethics/infinite.pdf) 2. External World Skep – You don't know you're dreaming, hallucinating, or being tortured by a demon3. no pain and pleasure brightline- i.e. spiciness, our taste in music, rollercoaster, and horror movies are examples that there is no brightline between pain and pleasure.4. Action Theory- Each action contains infinite number of actions with infinite consequences making impact calc impossible5. Induction Paradox – We can either predict or we can't. We can't because no situation is the exact same and the same consequences. If we can, then everyone can, which means we will always predict each other, making a paradox becuase we always attempt to predict the outcomes of each other's actions.Permissibility and presumption negate: (1) It's not an obligatory moral obligation if we don't have to do it, so the aff has not fulfilled their burden. (2) Absent aff offense proving obligations, I have shown there is no truth value to the resolution, which is sufficient to negate as per my definition. (3) The aff speaks last meaning they logically need to extend offense through the end of the round. (4) Statements rely on infinite assumptions to be true meaning they're more likely true than false since any of those assumptions can be false | 9/4/21 |
1 - T - Asian NFCTournament: Grapevine | Round: 2 | Opponent: Westlake AC | Judge: Austin Broussard Interp – Aff must concede Neg framework if the neg debater is Asian and the neg has Asian melancholy in itA~ Forces hard conversations – allowing the aff weigh under other frameworks turns away hard conversations that they have been avoiding.B~ Structural Unfairness Reparations – we are in the debate space which we think is anti Asian – giving us NFC evens out the playing fieldC~ Truth testing; We're a better model of debate were Asian people could engage in rounds bc they're debating frameworks that understand their perspective and detail it | 9/17/21 |

F~ Non Asian abuse outweighs Asian abuse on structural unfairness – the debate space is built to exclude Asian bodies. Obviously we may seem behind on the flow, but that's only because debate is anti- Asian.G~ Reject Non asian theory- all their interps are independent reasons to vote aff because non asian people imposing norms that resemble telling what the model minority should do where our resistance strategies our always criticized by nonasian people which concedes the model minority myth and causes violence | 10/16/21 |

Our model of debate is key to spread awareness and actualize movements to solve their offenseVoter is anti asianess: violent debate norms and racially charged affs must be held accountable for safety. Anti-asianess per our standards is a form of unfairness because it proves you've damned us from victory.TVA: Defend in aff removes anti Asian violence as a metaphorical interpretation of IP protections. Lit is accessible – proven by my aff which has a lai 21 card talking about IP protections as antiasian.DTD T indites the aff and a model of antiasianness should not be tolerated. Prefer Competing interpretations – 1~ reasonability leads to judge intervention which anti asian biases go unchecked and 2~ you can't be reasonably anti asian. No RVIS and Impact turns aren't reasons to drop me – A~ RVIs is just a form of white reparations, you shouldn't win simply because the 1NC was wrong which reproduces cancellation politics of harshly punishing asian people for small mistakes.And they can't weigh, or cross apply case because we are indicting the case and their starting point.

To clarify, disclosure can occur on the wiki or over message.Violation—they didn’tVote neg for prep and clash—two internal links—a) neg prep—4 minutes of prep is not enough to put together a coherent 1nc or update generics—30 minutes is necessary to learn a little about the affirmative and piece together what 1nc positions apply and cut and research their applications to the affirmative b) aff quality—plan text disclosure discourages cheap shot affs. If the aff isn’t inherent or easily defeated by 20 minutes of research, it should lose—this will answer the 1ar’s claim about innovation—with 30 minutes of prep, there’s still an incentive to find a new strategic, well justified aff, but no incentive to cut a horrible, incoherent aff that the neg can’t check against the broader literature.Drop the debater – we indict their model of debate. Evaluate the T-shell through competing interpretations – you cannot be reasonably fair, and reasonability brightlines are arbitrary which requires judge intervention. No RVIs or impact turns – you should not win for proving you’re accessible, and their model deters debaters from indicting unfair practices. | 4/9/22 |

2 - K - Asian MelancholyTournament: Loyola | Round: 2 | Opponent: Oxford VM | Judge: Michael Kurian KAsian American subject-formation is defined by a status of incomplete assimilation – an epistemic violence in which the racial signification homogenizes the body at a metaphysical level. And yet, something is missing… a haunting – if you will. A feeling of melancholy created by ontological gap between the real and the symbolic that could never be bridged. We are reduced to whatever stereotype thrown at us entails and our identities act to justify all social structures. That means only our theory of power can explain yours.Kim 1 ~Asian~ (Chang-Hee Kim, The Fantasy of Asian America: Identity, Ideology, and Desire) 2009 klmd recut/tagged Nato ====Forms of communication are bad since it acts to publicly humiliate and shame the Asian Body – we are always in the state as "almost, but not quite".

2 - K - Legal OrientalismTournament: Palm Classic | Round: 1 | Opponent: West Ranch SV | Judge: Henry Eberhart The 1AC notion that the absence of law is bad and the foreign countries need regulations of space is a site of legal orientalism that is fueled by Sinocentric ideology.Ruskola 1 Teemu Ruskola, Legal Orientalism, 101 Mich. L. Rev. 179 (2002). AND Enterprises and the SETI Institute. - pp. 10-13.)-rahulpenu This logic emphasizes that "the more different countries, companies, and individuals depend on space for a growing array of purposes, the more they need equitable rules, shared decision-making procedures, and effective compliance mechanisms to maximize the benefits that they all can gain from space, while minimizing risks from irresponsible space behaviors or deliberate interference with legitimate space activities."52 While it is acknowledged that such a need exists, the difficulty in reaching agreement on how to bring it about is one reason why some states are more focused on producing a dialogue on long-term sustainability. This is seen in the proliferation of reports outlining best practices and options that enhance sustainability through increased information sharing, as well as a focus on technical issues rather than on the creation of any new legal regimes.The Impact is Oriental Despotism – eastern subjectivity becomes no longer individualized by concentrated by the state and becomes an anti-model through negative semantics.

Only reason solves since asking "why reason?" requires reason which is self-justified.2~ Action theory – individual actions are infinitely divisible we don’t know at which point the step had the intent of going to X space which means individual actions are infinitely divisible and we can’t look at individual actions but instead intents of the overarching idea.3~ Externalism fails – no reason why we ought to care about higher order which takes out consequences and Ks because we don’t care about them.4~ There’s an act/omission distinction – otherwise we’d be held infinitely culpable for every omission which kills any conception of morality. Negate on presumption – even if they win the round your not obligated to vote for them.5~ Consequences Fail – a~ Every action has infinite stemming consequences 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. c~ Aggregation fails – suffering is not additive can’t compare between one migraine and 10 head aches6~ Theory – Frameworks are topicality interps of the word ought so they should be theoretically justified.

All external experience is corrupted- we could be dreaming, hallucinating, or being tortured by a demon. Therefore, it shows us what we perceive as existing, not what actually is existing. Thus, knowledge must be derived internally for a moral theory.2~ Circularity- induction is based on the premise that induction has worked in the past but that is predicated that induction works which is circular and has no external justificationThus the standard is consistency with universalizable maximsPrefer:1~Non-ideal theory fails to resolve oppression: A. Measurement – Non-Ideal theory collapses to skep because it’s impossible to measure with a constantly changing yardstick B.
