- NPDA Champion - CEDA Semi-Finals - NDT Double-Octafinals - Qualified to the TOC - Qualified to the NDT twice I'm not debating this (fall 2015) semester, but I've been debating for mostly the last six years. I've been in various kinds of debates. I'm not going to go through arguments I like or don't like on here because I think it's more important to say that I like memorable debaters, memorable debate rounds, and giving memorable decisions. I can listen to a variety of perspectives, not necessarily from an objective or neutral standpoint, but I find it to be both an opportunity and a privilige to be challenged to think critically. I think that cross x's are debate's most important speeches. I think a lot of people expect me to side critically in clash of civilization debates when the truth is that I spend a lot of time thinking about how traditional debate could function in these debates. It's rare that I have paper or pens for flowing.
