1. Framework
   A. Ontology precedes epistemological inquiry; science proves
   Bryant, 11 (Levi, The Democracy of Objects)
   The first of
   AND
   of ?this inquiry.

B. The earth is the ontological well from which the meaningfulness of human existence springs – our current attempts to escape it is a severe ontological crisis.
Turnbull 2006 Neil, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy and Social Theory at Nottingham Trent University, “The Ontological Consequences of Copernicus: Global Being in the Planetary World,” in Theory, Culture, Society 23
As is well
AND
of all things). 

C. Modern technologies resist the effectiveness of the world as ontological determinant
Arendt 61 Hannah, German political philosopher, “The Conquest of Space and the Stature of Man” The New Atlantis Fall 2007
It is at
AND
have been destroyed.

Role of the ballot has to be some pre-fiat reclamation of being

2. AC
A. Link - Claims of economic survival only serve to hide the inherent technological process of global domination and calculation of resources.
Joronen in 10 (Mikko, Doctoral candidate in Human Geography @ The University of Turku, The Age of Planetary Space Planetary System of Ordering, 2010
Under such colonization
AND
globalization of Gestell.

So, an abandonment of environmental protection in favor of resource extraction is the very move away from ontology that would make our value calculations impossible.
B. Impact - The technological relationship to the cosmos replicates the same thoughtless violences which informs the worst atrocities in history.
Arendt 61 “The Conquest of Space and the Stature of Man”
The magnitude of
AND
its own terms. 

C. The aff advocacy is to reevaluate the way in which humans associate with technology and nature, to seek reintegration instead of domination.
Charley in 09 (Mejame Ejede, Associate Professor of Philosophy @ Mary Washington University, PROBLEMATIC OF TECHNOLOGY AND THE REALMS OF SALVATION IN HEIDEGGER’S PHILOSOPHY, Technology and the Disclosure of Being, p. 357-8, September 1 2009) JM
While Heidegger is
AND
requisitioned by technology.

D. Even though the aff is pre-fiat, focus on developing nation agency is key
Spanos 2000 (William V., Prof of English @ Binghamton, America’s Shadow, p. 41-44)
What, however, the
AND
the American wilderness.

So the role of the ballot is to reclaim being and the possibility of epistemology. The aff action places absolute value in the environment and doesn’t “fiat” developing nations but nonetheless ensures the possibility of their agency.

This is why you don’t buy T, but also –

2. I meet reasonable T interpretations – I don’t fiat developing nations because that would reify colonialist discourse but the resolution doesn’t demand as much.
“Should” refers to morality rather than policy action.
(text, predictability, education, reasonability, ground)

So, I prove that environmental protection as a general principle is good, regardless of agent specificity

Tournament: ASU | Round: Finals | Opponent: Brophy CP SP | Judge: Seep, McHugh, Hollingshead

1. The bad news
   A. Market economies are based on neurotic subjects who believe that produced objects are real, produced vacancies and desires are fantasy and their own exploitation is virtuous
   Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari 1977 Anti-Oedipus Pg. 26-29

B. This capitalist politics of lack has caused irreversible environmental devastation.
Ian Pindar and Paul Sutton, translators for a dead French person, 2000 'The Three Ecologies' pg. 3-5

C. We have front row seats for the end of the world - peak oil combined with rising demand and population growth is an inescapable equation for apocalypse.
Hans Tammemagi, writer for the Vancouver Sun, 2008 accessed 6/28/08 from http://ww.w canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=2eeece50-285f-4c4b­ bb,37-2d053d04d4e8

2. Advocacy

We must forge a new collective subjectivity founded on the only truly renewable resource: personal energy, the force that courses through life and animates matter. Accepting as inevitable the lacking subject of capitalism that is doomed to consume results in the worst violence.
Mark Seem, translator for dead French theorists, 1977 Anti-Oedipus pg. XX-XXIV

Thus I affirm – environmental protection is only possible through the re-framing of subjectivity.

3. Framework
I defend Daoism as a strategy for producing a non-capitalist subjectivity that exists in harmony with the ebb and flow of the cosmos - the current ecological crises are not due to poor technology or improper policy but a fundamentally flawed set of ideas concerning the sovereign human will and the necessity of implementing it to manage nature. 

A. Only embracing the Daoist ethic of wu-wei or non-action allows the natural order of the universe to manifest itself.
Zhang 2001 (Jiyu, a 65th generation direct descendant of the founder of the Daoist religion, the first celestial master Zhang Daoling. Vice President of the Chinese Daoist Association and editor-in-chief of the magazine Chinese Daoism, published in Beijing) “A Declaration of the Chinese Daoist Association on Global Ecology: Daoism and Ecology: Ways within a Cosmic Landscape” (p. 364-367)

B. We must abandon the western practice of conflating the discrete objects of grammar, science and law with reality – there is only the immanent unity of the Dao.
Alan Watts, 95 teacher of eastern religion and philosophy, Philosopher of Western Culture, Tao the Water Color Way, 41-44.

C. Alt: reject all rhetoric that does not have as its motive harmonious existence in the Dao.
Combs, 2005 Steven C. The Dao ofRhetoric, Assoc. ProfofComm@Loyola MarymOlIDt University, pg. 149

D. Solvency: Daoism changes the way we conceive economies of valuation in all aspects of life.
Giradot, Miller, Xiaogan 2001 (N.J., professor of comparative religion and Leigh University; James, PhD research in Daoism at Queens University; Liu, PhD @ Beijing University. Daoism and Ecology”.)

Thus, I affirm.

1. I advocate the alt for both developed and developing countries. Don’t let the neg say I have to specify agency to developing countries only:
   A. Text
   B. Reasonability

2. If they win a violation, it doesn’t matter. Extend Watts and Giradot who both prove that the pedagogical character of our debate matters more than the objects it describes. Use the ballot to do the alt and benefit from its pre-fiat advantages.

2. Advocacy
A. Link: Anthropocentric ontology justifies economics which sets protection and resources in conflict – progressive economics don’t link out.

“And then what?”

B. Impact: Prioritization of human interests in conflict with the environment is the root cause of war and poverty
Bookchin 6-Director Emeritus @ the Institute for Social Ecology Murray, “Society and Ecology,” 2006, http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-society-and-ecology, DKP
That “clarity,” today

Further warrant in Bryant 4; remember, ontological assumptions create problems for politics.
C. Vote aff: I advocate the development of communal ecological societies. Key to solving all harms.
Bookchin, 79 (Murray, author and philosopher who is a pioneer in the ecological movement, co-founder of the Institute of Social Ecology, written 16 books on multiple issues surrounding ecology. “Toward an Ecological Society”, essay “The Power to Create, The Power to Destroy” November 1979 P. 40-46)
