Yes, for example, it's much better when the language completely takes away your ability to specify memory layouts or allocation patterns because it will never pick stupid ones.

Markets are perfect except when they don't capture "actual issues" and then you need different markets with different participants? How does this support market primacy?

In reality very few elected leaders participated in policy debate. They mostly end up policy wonks, software developers, or bloggers.

This story doesn't really hold water for me; you do this once, we all laugh about it, but by the next week every team has a neg case file for this and a dozen variations of it.

"Exercise helps post-COVID cognitive decline and insomnia" is absolutely bro science, and especially since it can make the whole situation much, much worse.

Unless you also got PEM with your long COVID, then exercise makes it a lot worse. Bro science is dangerous.

Unlike the commenter, I was an anarchist when I did policy debate. What does my political orientation have to do with what kind of hobby I enjoy? This feels like an extremely conservative take, that hobbies and policy goals must have some

But the formats using Robert's Rules or similar structures are least affected by this. I assure you these people are way more likely to feed into, y'know, policy institutes like CATO, Hoover, or Brookings. Nonprofit boards have

The people running Ks usually had trollish neocon or objectivist personal politics. When you use phrases like “the economic debate” it sounds like you know nothing about policy debate structure, and just want to dump on critical theory for

A gish gallop is an asymmetric attack. They can produce nonsense faster than, say, a physicist can produce physics or a mathematician proofs; and usually have nothing else to do with their time. But in a policy debate framework both sides h

Well, no, most debate topics are not "is political take X good?" Policy questions could be affirmed by leftist positions and argued against from other leftist positions. I think the judge's stance is boring, but everyone seem

I think your comment was fair; you also want them to learn when to bring a gun! I also wholly agree with you that the article's case as presented is quite weak. I read it hoping to learn some kind of actual radicalization of policy deb

This is the classic problem of education having to balance expression and practice. Bringing a gun to a swordfight is effective but if you're in a kendo class it's not especially helpful. Such is the effect of kritik within policy

I can see why speed debate can seem like a gish gallop, but it's not. And the way policy is structured it's definitely not talking over anyone (except I suppose in some of the absolutely radical Ks that attempt to destroy the poli
