Fun Facts about HRS Debate: Wendell sucks toes for money - Manu Meel

Fear of the Ocean
__**The Advantage**__ ====**Enlightenment philosophy is founded on a fear of the ocean. We seek predictability, limits, and boundaries because we want to block out the inevitability of chaos, death, and chance. Attempts to circumscribe our voyages only repress what we fear and guarantee that it will be expressed in another place and time. The project of our affirmative is to explore this ocean without refuge, to give up on the myth of a safe harbor.**==== __Of the ‘terrain of pure AND to rule__. ====**Fascism, too, is founded on a fear of the ocean. Mass exterminations are the result of a desire to cleanse and purify our community, to resist the unknown by drawing limits and isolating us from the real of blood and death. The obsession with policy will lead us nowhere—only a focus on poetry, language without an instrumental purpose, as a resistance to literal, limiting thought undermines the conditions of possibility for misery and atrocity**==== However great the revulsion AND **__the wall__**. ====**Modern science has created a myth of infinite knowledge which stifles creativity and represses excess with the quest for literal truth. Our philosophical investigation of the ocean resists this completion and provides an outlet for scientific inquiry and resists the dominant form of scholarship as accumulation and work, which demands predictability, order, and stasis. Exploration resists both scientific certainty and mystical obscurantism—thought without restriction is important in and of itself**==== __One consequence AND__ there is the sting.

**In the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, Cthulhu and his lost city of R’lyeh beneath the ocean stand in for the horror of the Real, that which exceeds the power of language to literally assimilate**
H.P. __Lovecraft__ AND introduces the object a. ====**The Cthulhu Mythos is the foundation of cosmic horror. The point is not just fear, but a dislocation of humanity’s central place in the universe. Revealing that the sublime powers of the universe are indifferent towards and untroubled by humanity fascinates and terrifies us, shattering the frame of terrestrial philosophy**==== __To appreciate AND unknown.__ ====**The aff’s exploration of the unknown through cosmic horror reveals the gaps and fissures of the Planet and decenters human subjectivity—this is the necessary prerequisite to an encounter with political and ecological crises**==== __The world is AND__ put it, “hair, mud, and dirt.”
