Hi my name's Nate and I debated at Iowa City West for four years. I acquired 9 bids to the TOC in my career (1 sophomore year, 2 junior year, 6 senior year) and made Quarters of the TOC as a junior and Doubles as a senior. I mostly did phil/theory debate. Something I found the wiki and Circuit Debater very useful for coming from a small school was finding different frameworks to read/try out so I'm going to post my phil cases here. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me at [/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection <nowiki>[email protected]</nowiki>] | Hi my name's Nate Weimar and I debated at Iowa City West for four years.

'''Cosmopolitanism''': I read this aff in one round and thought the framework was terrible, but maybe has potential? It's thesis is that our actions must be consistent with the idea that we are a global community but the contentions didn't really make sense and the framework is very disorganized. | |||

'''Calc Indicts''': These are arguments that say consequentialism fails. Here are the ones I cut that I put in every AC. (I would usually label them something dumb like "Consequentialism is Silly". | |||

'''Camus:''' Camus is a kritik that any aff that reads a normative framework links to. It critiques ethics and trying to give life "meaning" via some framework of things you have to do to be "good". I would recommend reading The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus if you want to know more about the thesis of the K. (CW: the book talks about suicide a lot). | |||
