Only the consequences of breaking the promise explain why the second one is much worse than the first which is the most intuitive. That outweighs:A~ Parsimony – metaphysics relies on long chains of questionable claims that make conclusions less likely.B~ Hijacks – intuitions are inevitable since even every framework must take some unjustified assumption as a starting point.4~ Use epistemic modesty for clash – disincentives debaters going all in for framework meaning we get the ideal balance between normative and applied philosophy5~ No intent-foresight distinction for states.Enoch 07 Enoch, D ~The Faculty of Law, The Hebrew Unviersity, Mount Scopus Campus, Jersusalem~.

Outweighs – Most articles about pandemics are written through util – means other frameworks can never engage with core questions of the lit and decks predictability.7~ Reject calc indicts and util triggers permissibility arguments:A~ Theory — they’re functionally NIBs that everyone knows are silly but skew the aff and move the debate away from the topic and actual philosophical debate, killing valuable educationB~ Morally abhorrent — it would say we have no obligation to prevent genocide and that slavery was permissible which is morally abhorrent and makes debate unsafe8~ Impact calc — Extinction is categorically prior:A~ Magnitude — trillions of future lives are lost that are just as valuable as current ones – anything else says some lives are worth less than others which is a slippery slope to genocide.B~ Reversibility — extinction forecloses future improvement; prefer — if we’re unsure about which interpretation of the world is true, we should preserve it to figure things out.Underview1~ 1AR theory is legit – anything else means infinite abuse – drop the debater – 1AR is too short to make up for the time trade-off – no RVIs – 6 min 2NR means they can brute force me every time – competing interps – otherwise the 2NR could drown the aff in arguments while playing defense2~ Reasonability on NC shells – the 1AR is too short to line by line every argument, make a counter interpretation, and go for substance – key to check arbitrary interps.3~ Dictionary.com defines Ought:
