    Infoslide

    “I often talk about love as one of the few places where people actually admit they want to become different. And so it’s like change without trauma, but it’s not change without instability. It’s change without guarantees, without knowing what the other side of it is, because it’s entering into relationality. The thing I like about love is that love always means non- sovereignty." -Lauren Berlant Non-sovereignty is when you don't have control.

  • This house, as X & Y, would choose to debate with each other.

    Infoslide

    I) X & Y are budding debaters from the Indian circuit who are in a happy relationship. They share common aspirations of doing well at major tournaments (WUDC, UADC etc.) and have briefly debated as a team previously. However, this took a significant toll on their relationship since both of them are highly-competitive teammates prone to bouts of stress and anger. Based on this experience, they have teamed up extensively with a different set of teammates which has been successful. II) For the purposes of this debate, this is likely to be the last year majors are going to be online, post which it is uncertain whether they will be able to access these tournaments. X & Y have spent time preparing for majors with their current teammates. However, in the run up to majors, they realize their current teammates won’t be able to make it to the competition. This leaves them with the choice of either debating with each other or settling for an untested partner. Both X & Y are still quite skeptical of the potential fallout teaming up may have on their relationship.

  • This house regrets the expectation that committed romantic relationships are long-term *don't use ChatGPT for prep!

    Infoslide

    Just like a lot of you, we were very tired and didn’t feel like writing an infoslide for this round. We thus asked ChatGPT to define itself to an audience of three-year-olds. Enjoy: “ChatGPT is like a talking robot that can understand and answer questions people ask it. It's really smart and knows a lot of things, and it can talk to people in a way that sounds just like they're talking to another person. It's kind of like having a really smart imaginary friend who you can ask anything you want and they'll always have an answer!”
