hey i am a senior this year but i want to KNDI last year. the campus is gorgeous and there are plenty of places to eat on or right off campus (you cant go off campus, but there are some places that are on the ok list) as far as activities there are not a whole lot on campus but you do take a trip to the mall and i think a few other trips. one "activity" is mandatory fun each saturday night. That is probably the worst part because everyone is forced into one of the top of one of the two tower like dorms for 4 hours doing absolutely nothing. =( aside from that, Kentucky is a very anti-kritikal camp. There might be one or two lectures on K's but one of them is usually Roger Solt talking about how awful Kritiks are. If you have any specific questions i will try and answer those as well hope this was helpful

its not too strange to be a day off, but its almost midnight the next day... very unlike TF... but i guess it comes when it comes, and hopefully its out by tomorrow at 8. if not then my novices will make do with non unique DA's =p

Will there be one? I am looking for a quick, easy DA for novices this weekend (one that hopefully wouldn't be NU...)

its called baudrillard. the first matrix movie is based on alot of the tenets of Simulation and Simulacra. in fact the book that Neo uses at the very beginning of the movie to hide his illegal shit was a copy of Simulation and Simulacra. Think about it. We are all fooled into believing we live in the "real world" when we are really in a simulation (matrix). That copy of the Real is so far beyond the original that its now a simulacra (the difference b/w real world and matrix). A copy without an original which causes bad shit (the war). the third movie at the end even has elements of zizek/lacan as far as transcending the lack. great philosophical series.

Step one: read fight club Step two: come back when you understand that. then zizeks analysis might make more sense. might. =p its tough to explain zizek since it takes another philosopher to write about what he meant to say. aside from that he is a wonderfully crazy son of a bitch

Just saw it! it was good but it was very very biased. i am not religious, but i would still like to have seen him give a little more time for the religious nuts to talk instead of cutting in and making fun of them (not that it was not hilarious of course).

definitely worth the 7 bucks. very good for an independent film. it did not change much if anything from the book, unfortunately it did omit a lot of key things like the importance of the rocks and it completely omitted the nurse's alienish fantasies and it re ordered a few things and pretty much ignored the last 3-4 chapters of the book (in my mind that was the climax) but still worth the 7 bucks to see it (i paid 11 and was not disappointed) but i was really looking forward to the ending and i was not all that impressed with that aspect. but still a very good film.

hey don't diss uncondo bad... i won a round at Columbia last year when the team ran an uncondo CP. i ran uncondo bad theory as a joke... basically unfair to the neg team destroys education in debate because we limit ourselves to one narrow area of education. blah blah blah all the reasons why dispo/condo is amazing. they kind of laughed it off and didn't answer it well. we kinda jokingly kept in the round and ended up winning on it.... we were running hippos at the time so they were a little bit taken aback and didn't have many arguments that round

we answered Zizek adequately, we lost on instrumentality and the Der Derian card that we undercovered. It is actually a relatively good case that easily beat Calhoun and Bronx Science.

does anybody still have this file that could re-up it?

i went to KNDI and i heard the case run, but i didnt particularly think it was topical. maybe it wasn't intended to be, or maybe it is and i missed it. the plan doesnt really take a stance on how alternative energy incentives in the US will be increased. i guess the incentive is in the US but nuclear energy would only be possibly increased in iran. well anyway here is the link to the iran case http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=c28c515bf95be126d2db6fb9a8902bda

is it just me, or are we missing a lot of camps that have been out for a while or we are missing full versions of files? it just seems strange with it being so late in the summer. usually files have surfaced before now.

any update on the status of the NDCA project? and did i read correctly that the victory briefs will be included?
