A. Problem/Solution – The 1AC logic of problematizing the world and providing a solution through an increase in public health assistance to Africa engages in technological thinking that enframes things as problems or solutions, degrading everything on earth to something of calculative value.Korous 97 (George, Yale Law Graduate, Copeland Winner, Become What You Are, p. 19) Problemization is very similar to...the representation of the problem.

The affs call crisis based politics engages in a type of thinking that reduces all life on earth to a tool to be instrumentalized, further disconnecting ourselves from what it means to be. Swazo 2 (Norman, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Alaska, "Crisis Theory and World Order: Heideggerian Reflections," p 110-11) The inevitability of such a fight issues from the pathology of nihilism...and which finds its instrument in technocracy.

Engaging in hegemonic power politics reduces all life to a standing reserve with no connection to being, won't solve, and spawns global violence. Swazo 2 (Norman, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Alaska, "Crisis Theory and World Order: Heideggerian Reflections," p 114-15) For Huntington this international order does not entail Westernization of the world...service of this economy. ..." (Will to Power, note 866).

B. Continued domination of technological thought risks extinction through global conflict and the deterioration of Earth. Meditative thought is crucial to preventing inevitable planetary destruction. Swazo 2 (Norman, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Alaska, "Crisis Theory and World Order: Heideggerian Reflections," p 157-60) The grounding question claims us today...an `earthly-temporal' is transformed.

C. Alternative – Vote negative to reject this instance of technological thought––the Affirmative's conception of the world is shaped by technological ordering and must be interrogated.Korous 97 (George, Yale Law Graduate, Copeland Winner, Become What You Are, p. 22-25) The thought that habits critique is not bent on achieving quick and efficient solutions...one's ontological situation, that is, what constitutes reality.

We recognize that Buber’s rhetoric is sexist. We do not affirm any of his gendered language.

The affirmative’s deployal of the term “its” brings into existence the I-it relationship. This term necessarially separates I-it, reducing objects to pure calculability. Buber, 37 (Martin, I and Thou, 15-17)

This separation is unique to ‘it.’ This term separates the relation of the human body from the surrounding world. In ‘it’ the ‘I’ definition ally comes before the ‘it,’ establishing a barrier between subject and object. Buber, 37 (Martin, I and Thou, 37-39)

The separation of people from institutions is uniquely bad. Life is reduced to nothingness. Institutions act only in the exterior goal based realm while the realm of feelings is within. Only rejecting their separation embraces the eternal center, the area of life. Buber, 37 (Martin, I and Thou, 62-66)

The impact is the total abjuration of life. The separation of institutions ie.the United States federal government allows for a total oppressive control of death. This manifests itself in the levers of economics, or the uncontrollable rise of tyranny. Piecemeal institutional reforms are not enough, nothing can substitute the unified relation with the center. Buber, 37 (Martin, I and Thou, 67-70)

Consult Japan Relations are stretched to the brink due to lack of consultation BBC World 04. (“150th Anniversary of US-Japan Peace Treaty” March 30.

Colonialism Stuff Criticism of representations must come first. They present a superficial “technical fix” ignoring the socially created problem. Lang, Centre for Food Policy, Wolfson Institute of Health Sciences, 2001 (32-38 Uxbridge Road, Ealing, London W5 2BS, United Kingdom, J Epidemiol Community Health 2001;55:162-163, http://jech.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/55/3/162) Even if the plan seems positive, it will be hijacked to put a “friendly face” on U.S. Colonial policies—Nicaragua proves Rosset, Institute for Food and Development Policy, 1998 (Peter ,World Hunger: 12 Myths, 2nd Edition, by France Moore Lappé, Joseph Collins and Peter Rosset, with Luis Esparza, Grove/Atlantic and Food First Books, http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Poverty/FoodDumping/USAid.asp This colonial order makes extinction inevitable—Our attempts to control and save necessitate wholesale destruction of all things. Santos, director of the Center for Social Studies at the University of Coimbra, 2003 (Boaventura de Sousa, Bad Subjects, Issue #63, April) Vote negative to reject the 1AC’s colonial public health policies—This criticism of development and disease rhetoric allows for us to break from colonial biases.
