It is not a coincidence that Breaking News occurs every fifteen minutes because international politics are unpredictable. The insecurities cited by the affirmative are not unique; international terrorism is in our neighborhoods and there might just be poison in our children's Halloween candy. The uncomfortable truth is that uncertainty and risk are part and parcel of human life. Rather than coming to terms with this, the affirmative encourages us to stay glued to the television screen, stocking up on duct tape and water. At issue here is not just life itself but what makes life valuable. We encourage indifference and carelessness in a world inherently characterized by insecurity in an attempt to reclaim joy from the affirmative's world of paranoid tiptoeing. James Der Derian is a Watson Institute research professor of international studies (Brown University), 1993 , The Political Subject of Violence, ([ http://www.ciaonet.org/boo k/lipschutz/lipschutz12.ht ml ]http://www.ciaonet.org/boo k/lipschutz/lipschutz12.ht ml ), Nietzsche transvalues...new advantages and new strength Next, the 1AC's invocation of the "good" of humanity as the basis for action is not an ahistorical notion, it is rooted in a civilizational process of valuating different types of being. This logic internally necessitates the creation of an "evil" inhuman enemy- endless wars and genocides have been carried out under the banner of humanism Rasch 2003 (William, Prof of Germanic Studies @ Indiana University, "Human Rights as Geopolitics: Carl Schmitt and the Legal Form of American Supremacy", Cultured Critique 54) Tyler To preach and announce...its enemy twin Thus, our alternative is to vote negative in order to not implement the affirmative's plan. As opposed to the 1AC 's idea that political action which attempts to alleviate the suffering of past injustice is worthwhile, the Negative's call to forget the suffering associated with _ Zupancic 2003 (Alenka, Researcher at the Institute of philosophy @ U of Ljubljana, The Shortest Shadow: Nietzsche's Philosophy of the Two, p. 56-60) There is also an important difference...has to be registered somewhere. The affirmative's idea that we must continually sacrifice ourselves and work towards a higher order to be achieved is an illusory moral construction that both denies the uniqueness of each moment in life as well as functions as a vehicle by which we as individuals are forced to redirect our creative forces towards resentment of ourselves and the world around us. In light of this, eternal recurrence teaches us that each moment is a new and infinite process of becoming- rather than living our lives in the shadow-like deferral of the New World Order promised by the plan, we must understand that all we have is this world, and that the choices we make will follow us for eternity.. Vote negative to affirm joy and freedom from resentment in the moment. Dolan 2003 (Frederick M, Prof Emeritus @ Berkeley, "NIETZSCHE AND LEGAL THEORY (PART I): NIETZSCHE'S GNOSIS OF LAW", 24 Cardozo L. Rev. 757) Tyler The thought of eternal recurrence says ...ego-substance on to all things... The notion that the goal of life is life devalues life in the world. The negative states that there are things worth dying for in order to make a value to life. Zizek 2003 (Slavoj, Senior Researcher @ the University of Ljubljana, “Homo Sacer as the Object of the Discourse of the University” In the University discourse, is not the upper level…obfuscating the unfreedom on which it relies. We must separate hope from solvency and calculations, or the sitation makes hope impossible. We are asking you to seek hope in an uncertain present rather than deterring a future disaster Brian Massumi, Assosiate Professor of Communications at the Universite de Montreal, and Mary Zournazi, Philiosopher and PhD in Cultural Theory 2002, Hope: New hiliosophies for Change, New York: Routledge p211-212.
