Baudrillard
Tournament: CPS | Round: 1 | Opponent: possible stuff for CPS | Judge: someone The real is dead; in its place has come a giant metaphorical world of representations and symbols upon symbols, each becoming a signifier of the last; the affirmative’s speech act on the nature of moral obligations contributes to the world in its becoming of the simulacrum, the electronic copy of the world and the ethical norms that go along with it that now precede the real thing Introna writes: The real for Baudrillard (1983) is dead; it is not merely dead AND In the hyperreal everything is already simulation; everything is always already reproduction. Lucas D. Introna, 2002, “The (im)possibility of ethics in the information age,” Information and Organization 12, Centre for the Study of Technology and Organisation, Lancaster University Management School, PhD. Professor of Organisation, Technology and Ethics
The hypothetical moral obligations promoted in the AC are contributions to the hyperreal, the imagination of the disaster in which we mix names and faces and real human lives into electronic representations, and we are involved as though we are some omniprescient third party capable of deciding between life and death Introna continues: It is my supposition that electronic mediation with its hyperreal effect—even if we AND images presented on screens, numbers moving from screens to paper and back.
The hyperreal makes the idea of a moral obligation impossible to realize; the representation AND the obligation; recognize the naked face of the other that we observe suffering Introna continues: Why do moral obligations happen? With the notion of a moral obligation I have AND what Ethics cannot do. But, what if obligation does not happen:
We must reject the attempt to create a “code” or set of standards of the environment Introna continues: If we cannot make obligation safe, if we do not have recourse to meta AND cannot make it happen, it is only as strong and no more.

And, the 1ac’s political statements are justification for their pathos of reaction Nietzsche 1887 Fredrich, “The Gay Science,” pg. 117-8 The craving for suffering - When I think of the craving to do something, AND my friends, I have ventured to paint my happiness on the wall.
This is a nihilistic framework for evaluating nature. Mcwhorter 92 Ladelle, “guilt as management technology”, pg. 1-4 Thinking today must concern itself with the earth. Wherever we turn — on newsstands AND things cannot be the solution because it a part of the problem itself.

Winnipeg: Dec.Vol. 39, Iss. 4; pg. 61, 16 pgs) I propose to show that Nietzsche's animals in Thus Spoke Zarathustra provide lessons in deep AND this central theme is far from being limited to Nietzsche's critique of Christianity.

It is the only positive choice. Nietzsche 1873 “On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense”, pg 7 The free intellect copies human life, but it considers this life to be something AND may at least correspond creatively to the impression of the powerful present intuition.
Their framework for life makes extinction desirable. Nietzsche 1886 fredrich, “beyond good and evil”, aph # 225, pg. 342 Whether hedonism, or pessimism, or utilitarianism, or eudaimonianism (6)—all AND only this suffering which has created all the things which raise man up?
This fuels a ressentiment that negates beauty and life. Der Derian 95 JAMES, ON SECURITY, PG. 29 The will to power, then, should not be confused with a hobbesian perpetual AND owes this artificial strength to the illusion of being protected by a god."
And, the alternative is to affirm destiny and chance.. The alternative is the only way to live life eventfully and adventurously, through a rolling of the dice. Deleuze 83 GILLES, “NIETZSCHE AND PHILOSOPHY”, PG. 25-27 The game has two moments which are those of a dicethrow — the dice that AND the repetition of a dicethrow by the nature of the fatally obtained number.
And, to affirm chance and the tragic in life is to learn to see the best in the worst of what is necessary. This is liberation of the free intellect from the joyless concept of life in the 1ac. Deleuze 83 GILLES, “NIETZSCHE AND PHILOSOPHY”, P 17-18 Dionysus affirms all that appears, “even the most bitter suffering”, and appears AND ” (VP IV 50). Tragedy — frank, dynamic, gaiety.
Realizing a cure is a pre-requisite to the positive will to power – we must reject the cure to the disease to ensure eternal recurrence; the K is a prerequisite to the plan, and the perm can’t solve Kain, 07 (Philip J, Professor of philosophy at University of Santa Clara, "Nietzsche, Eternal Recurrence, and the Horror of Existence," the Journal of Nietzsche Studies, muse, AD: 7/6/09 To appreciate how committed he is, suppose we are incorrigible do-gooders— AND eternal recurrence and loving his fate, not whether eternal recurrence is actually true
All status quo representations of nature – whether to save it, master it, or view “uncharted” nature as something beyond the realm of civilization – all further the capitalist dominion. Halsey in 04( Mark; teaches in the School of Law at the Flinders University of South Australia; Environmental Visions: Deleuze and the Modalities of Nature; Ethics and the Environment 9.2 (2004) 33-64) I mentioned there was one exception to the general trend where by Goolengook has been AND invisible by various units of management and at what cost such invisibility occurs.

Questioning of capitalist tendencies is a prerequisite to ethical determinations; it negates one’s value to life as producers and capitalists are both turned into machines in a constant race for production, and materials become measurements of humanity. Humans begin interacting with one another not based on ethical principles but economic ones. We have an a priori ethical obligation to reject global capitalism under any moral theory – capitalism makes its victims anonymous, destroying the ability to find value in life Zizek and Daly ‘4(Slavoj and Glyn, Conversations with Zizek page 18-19) For Zizek, a confrontation with the obscenities of abundance capitalism also requires a transformation AND that, like Zizek’s own thought, exhorts us to risk the impossible.
Rebirth Contention 2 is Rebirth
Only by Refusing to participate in capitalism is the first step toward hollowing out the system and replacing it with an alternative. Rejecting the Affirmative is key. Herod 4 (James, renowned philosopher, author, and social activist, “Getting Free”, http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strate/GetFre/06.htm) It is time to try to describe, at first abstractly and later concretely, AND another, and not merely reforming one way of life into something else.

This 1NC is an act of protest. I use the debate space to challenge the status quo neoliberal order. Voting Aff doesn’t actually make pass any policies, but the ballot can be instrumental to eluding the grip of capital in everyday life. This is key to examining our assumptions about ethics, so it’s an epistemological prerequisite
Capitalistic expansion has ruined education by promoting pedagogical practices that support corporate power, religious fundamentalism and neo-conservative ideology. Giroux 4 (Henry, professor of Cultural Studies at McMaster University, “Public Pedagogy and the Politics of Neo-liberalism: making the political more pedagogical” Policy Futures in Education, Volume 2, Number 3 and 4, 2004) At this point in American history, neo-liberal capitalism is not simply too AND 30 years, particularly under the ruthless administration of George W.

The necessity for a pragmatics of uncertainty to which the color system¶ alerts us AND it is perhaps best characterized as infra-temporal rather than¶ transtemporal. The opposite of the recognition of infinite alterity is a controlling attempt to break down and understand everything. Wild, professor of philosophy, 80 – Professor of Philosophy at Yale University (John, Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, professor and chair of philosophy at Northwestern University, 2/29/80, Introduction to Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority, book written by Emmanuel Levinas, Springer, pp. 15-19, http://m.friendfeed-media.com/48926eed43741a4e07a8241b7ee87bd55b666514)

This last point bears on the conditions of the realization and maintenance of a just AND of those whose concerns have always yet to be adequately taken into account.
How we as subjects are positioned in debate is a prerequisite to interpreting and understanding AND is over is the education we’ve gained from argumentation in specific speech acts.
Our framework is that language and representations used in this debate matters more than any meaning contained within that language.
