FIRST PRINCIPLES CHEAT SHEET LINK
Welcome to Disputandum First Principles Cheat Sheet! The links you see above show our downloadable, printable first principles cheat sheet.
This thing is a lifehack. Let me explain our catchy intro up there for a bit. This is how you consistentlyperform in all motion headings:
- Know the common clashes

Our cheat sheet helps you with the first two, since the third point is already covered by hundreds of brilliant debating seminars that you can find on YouTube.
Have this set of clues during casebuild and you’ll never fail to think of second arguments and extensions, or miss basic explanations!
Note: This is a very simplified compilation of many debating workshops on the Internet, with some personal modifications. That means this is non-exhaustive, and might or might not suit your style. If you want to know more, check the References section at the bottom of the cheat sheet.
