The affirmative requires a humanist thinking and speaking subject—radically devalues the nonhuman.

Anthropocentrism is THE Foundational Hierarchy that structures all others—Their Humanist Politics Dooms Us To a Future That Endlessly Repeats the Oppression of the Status Quo.
Steven Best, Chair of Philosophy at UT-EP, 2007 JCAS 5.2

While a welcome advance over the anthropocentric conceit that only humans shape human actions,
AND
and stewardship, which however was Judaic moral baggage official Chistianithy left behind.
Too many people with pretences to ethics, compassion, decency, justice, love
AND
drive us ever-deeper into an evolutionary cul-de-sac.

The 1AC promises redemption, repeating the sovereign decisiveness that founds the expulsion of the animal. Vote negative to refuse the affirmative’s decision to be human.  This renunciation expresses the undecidability between the human and animal.

Benjamin’s staging of the emergence of the animal in the ruler effectively deconstructs Schmitt’s efforts
AND
, however, a decision, but a melancholic awareness of an undecidability.

The aff rejects the inevitable chaos of the world in favor of a safer world-this causes ressentiment

Kuwasi Balagoon’s testimony and the violence foretold by the 1ac cannot be evaluated using the same frame but presents what Lyotard calls a Differend,

How then should we encounter Balagoon’s case?
The affirmative’s role of the ballot attempts to frame the debate according to one rule of judgment which precludes bearing witness to Balagoon’s testimony.
Because the ballot itself is violent we cannot prescribe one, but instead ask the critic to disavow it—to take vengeance on the ballot

Interpretation – Restriction requires prohibition
Northglenn 11
(City of Northglenn Zoning Ordinance, “Rules of Construction – Definitions”, http://www.northglenn.org/municode/ch11/content_11-5.html)
Section 11-5-3. Restrictions. As used in this Chapter 11 of the Municipal Code, the term "restriction" shall mean a prohibitive regulation. Any use, activity, operation, building, structure or thing which is the subject of a restriction is prohibited, and no such use, activity, operation, building, structure or thing shall be authorized by any permit or license.
 “In the area” means all of the activities

PART I¶ INTRODUCTION¶ Article 1
Use of terms and scope¶ 1. For the purposes of this Convention:¶ (1) "Area" means the seabed and ocean floor and subsoil thereof, beyond the limits of national jurisdiction;¶ (2) "Authority" means the International Seabed Authority;¶ (3) "activities in the Area" means all activities of exploration for, and exploitation of, the resources of the Area;
Violation: The aff is only a condition or limit.
Voters: 

1. Fairness –
   a. Predictable limits – Anything not a prohibition explodes the topic to an infinite number of affs. Our interp would limit it to 4 areas and process mechanisms. Gives the topic 8 affs.
   b. Ground – Can’t generate links to DAs and makes CPs uncompetitive.
   c. Bidirectionality – Allows aff to set conditions that would expand the authority of the executive.
   2. Education –
   a. Depth – Better than breadth, key to the best understanding of the resolution. Leads to better clash and in-round education.
   b. Research – Impossible to research the topic – Leads to hyper-generic arguments.
   Evaluate topicality in a competing interpretations framework.
