People consistently regard pleasure and pain as good reasons for action, despite the fact that pleasure doesn’t seem to be instrumentally valuable for anything.Moen 16 ~Ole Martin Moen, Research Fellow in Philosophy at University of Oslo "An Argument for Hedonism" Journal of Value Inquiry (Springer), 50 (2) 2016: 267–281~ SJDI AND places where we reach the end of the line in matters of value. Thus the standard is maximizing expected well-being. Prefer additionally:1~ Only consequentialism explains degrees of wrongness—if I break a promise to meet up for lunch, that is not as bad as breaking a promise to take a dying person to the hospital. Only the consequences of breaking the promise explain why the second one is much worse than the first. Intuitions outweigh—they’re the foundational basis for any argument and theories that contradict our intuitions are most likely false even if we can’t deductively determine why2~ Reductionism – empirics prove.Parfit 84 ~Derek Parfit, cool hair.

Use epistemic modesty for evaluating the framework debate: that means compare the probability of the framework times the magnitude of the impact under a framework. Prefer:A~ Substantively true since it maximizes the probability of achieving net most moral value—beating a framework acts as mitigation to their impacts but the strength of that mitigation is contingent.B~ Clash— we don’t know if our frameworks are true, but we can debate the topical question. That incentivizes debating both layers instead of solely focusing on framework. | 11/13/21 |
ND - Cap KTournament: Scarsdale | Round: 6 | Opponent: Harris TB | Judge: Ashwin Mathi Our thesis is that the collapse of capitalism is inevitable, it is a question of now or later: you should frame your decision through an anti-capitalist lens by centering the valorization of productivity that aff’s logic is founded upon.Kuang 20 ~Da Kuang and Changyi Huang are professors at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, College of Marxism in Wuhan 430074, China. A Study of Marx’s Thought on the Speed of Capital Accumulation, Presented at the 2020 International Conference on Social Science, Economics and Education Research (SSEER 2020), Atlantic Press: Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research Volume 455, 8-22-21, amrita~ AND accumulation. The ultimate fate of capitalism is to be replaced by socialism. The aff’s insidious attempts to replace welfare with wage labor reinforces the idealization and social control of "work ethic". Myths of work allow governments to blame systemic poverty on the behavior of the poor. Valorization of work and notions that you can resist via unionization deflates proletariat unity by turning workers against non-workers.Frayne 15 Frayne, David.

Rights based frameworks that posit unionization as the end all to all problems are part of the problem—consumption and work fuel each other cyclically. The proletariat must refuse the demand of work to refuse the demand of consumption.Lafargue 83 ~Lafargue, Paul. The Right To Be Lazy.

But capitalism can’t be saved. The short-term rejuvenation simply pushes back the long-term inevitable collapse which dooms us to death by climate change before the revolution can happen—this card is amazing and also preempts all their "cap solves climate change" answers.Foster 18 ~John Bellamy Foster, John Bellamy Foster is a professor of sociology at the University of Oregon and also editor of Monthly Review.

Several highly regarded studies in economics have documented drops in productivity Economic productivity is key to global economic growth, it is urgently needed as in the status quo growth is already slowing down.

ND - Hobbes NCTournament: Scarsdale | Round: 1 | Opponent: NDSJ AG | Judge: Derek Ying FramingEthical projects starting from a derivation of truth always fail. 2 warrants:1~ There are no overarching moral doctrines to guide morality – only those we impose in the state of nature.Parrish 1 1.

Myth of Morality. Port Chester, NY, USA: Cambridge University Press, 2002. p 45-47. AND count as evidence that would sway the debate one way or the other. ~3~ Linguistics – Truth is constructed by language, which is completely arbitrary. Nothing tells me that a chair is a chair; I only assign it that name arbitrarily because I want to. Meaning can’t be contained within language if we make it up ourselves, and truth doesn’t exist absent language.The conclusion is adherence to the sovereign: since the sovereign's role is to provide a common meaning to notions like morality, the question of morality is the SAME question as the nature of the sovereign.Parrish 2 1. Rick Parrish 2. 2004 3. The Johns Hopkins University Press 4. Derrida's Economy of Violence in Hobbes' Social Contract 5. 1/5/16 6. Pg 4-7. 7. Rick Parrish teaches at Loyola University New Orleans.

Thus, the standard is consistency with the will of the sovereign.Prefer:The sovereign always exists. All persons want to become meaning creators and eventually a sovereign will be formed.Parrish 3 ~Derrida`s Economy of Violence in Hobbes` Social Contract, Richard Parrish~ AND comparison with others"46 or human nature as a creator of meaning. Moral Discourse: outside of the state there is no authority to ensure that individuals will follow the same moral language. The state clarifies this by being an ultimate arbiter.Infinite Regress: other moral theories inevitably fail as individuals question why we follow them; individuals consent to the state by virtue of engaging in it, therefore we escape this regress.Constitutivism: hypothetically other moral theories may matter but obligations differ based on the nature of agency as different agents have different obligations. Therefore the state has unique obligations that might be inconsistent with morality in general.TJFsResolvability: util debates end up being a mess of weighing and impact calculation, using Hobbes is resolvable because it’s just a question of what the sovereign believes. Independently indicts util, we can’t act on util if every action requires endless weighing.Political education: politicians have to understand the social contract in order to know what powers they do / do not have, debating Hobbes helps us learn about that.Offense1~ Government strikes decrease the power of the state, meaning the unconditional right to strike would further decrease power. This would lead to the state of nature.2~ The aff obligates governments to act – incoherent because it calls on a power higher than the sovereign to make the sovereign act. Only the state has the authority to create moral obligations.3~ Restrictions — the resolution places an obligation on the sovereign, but that’s impossible because the sovereign creates morality. | 11/13/21 |
