Weak Ontology K
==1. The affirmative employs strong ontological claims as a basis for their affirmation. Assertions about agents, subjects, others, self and the world itself are premised in an orientation which presume certainity and resolution. The difference between weak and strong ontology is how you carry yourself and your most basic commitments. Strong ontology manifests in resolution and confidence while weak ontology acknowledges doubt and skepticism. Post 9/11 speeches by Bush and Graham demonstrate the subtle but important difference.== White 2005 (Stephen K., James Hart Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia, “Weak Ontology: Genealogy and Critical Issues,” //Hedgehog Review//, Summer, p.14-15) PM

 * good and evil, us and the enemy.**

==2. Weak ontology insists that our conceptions of self, other and the world are characterized by contingency and indeterminacy. This makes possible ethico-political practices of care. Strong ontological claims, on the other hand, assume with certainty to know they way the world is. Strong ontological orientations violently eliminate that which their claims cannot capture.== Howe 2006 (Louis E., associate professor in the Department of Political Science & Planning at the University of West Georgia, “Enchantment, Weak Ontologies, and Administrative Ethics,” //Administration & Society//, September, p.427-8) PM

Gabel K
1. Welcome to the Matrix. We started as social beings, but fearful that our innate desire for genuine intersubjective connection is not felt by others, we alienate ourselves by becoming mere actors on a stage, mere performers in a play. We breathe life into false entities such as “the state” in order to justify and sustain this alienation. These fictionally external concepts become the medium through which we must interact with others in order to colonize the future moment and ensure that the contingent nature of reality doesn’t render our performances obsolete.
