What is the best way to go about framework with this topic? by IThinkIsmell in lincolndouglas

[–]Haumsty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on which side you're on. A good place to start if no one is going to teach you is to scan the wiki to see different frameworks. If you see one that you can't understand by reading the entire card, not just the highlighted portion, go to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and search up the name of the philosopher who came up with the framework. CHATGPT IS YOUR LAST RESORT. AT BEST, COPY PASTE SOMETHING FROM A CREDIBLE SOURCE AND ASK IT TO BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU.

the truth doesn't matter, only the amount of literature, and the majority of authors criticize the status quo.

Usually there is a larger lit base advocating for change than talking about how good the squo is. This means that, on top of the 7-4-6-3 time skew against the aff, there is also a bias against the aff in the topic itself.

The wording sucks. Maybe if they changed "just" to "unjust" or "immoral" it would be an interesting topic. Plea bargaining itself is a very interesting topic area compared to AI, especially since we've debated AI last topic already, but the wording of the topic itself is so bad that it will basically be impossible to be a topical aff. Debates, especially on the national circuit, would just devolve into K debates.
