I debated LD for La Canada High School and qualified to the TOC three times.

**POLICY** Familiar with common kritiks like neolib, security, and biopower. Please thoroughly explain your links in the context of the aff. I'm probably best at evaluating a counterplan/DA strategy, but obviously will listen to everything else to the best of my ability. I err neg on condo, but don't default judge kick. Know less about the topic than you do, so please over-explain acronyms and topic-specific jargon. **LD** I default to epistemic modesty when evaluating philosophy/framework debate. "Winning framework" does not mean that I will only evaluate impacts under that framework; I will treat framework as a weighing mechanism, making certain impacts more or less important than others. I default to debate as a comparison of advocacies - you have to win offense to your advocacy. Explicit extensions of every card in the 1AC are not necessary. Debaters only have to explain their offense briefly if it's dropped.

*Note: there's another Alex Zhao on the wiki -- I'm probably the one judging you.
