I can't find Clinton's answer but I remember he basically ignored the whole "national debt" thing and just answered as if it was a question about the economy. His response was passionate and touched on enacting economic policies to help the little guy. The whole exchange between the woman, Bush, and Clinton was one of the more important parts of the debate, arguably more so than the watch moment.

But Quayle was correct. He didn’t say he had qualities or characteristics like Kennedy, but he said they had the same experience before seeking the Presidency (and Vice Presidency). Kennedy was a Representative and Senator, then became President. Quayle was a Representative and Senator, then became Vice President.

@Daniel_Robinson 6 жыл бұрын

Quayle was still comparing himself to Kennedy. Quayle didn’t even say the number of years he was in Congress. His entire statement was around the fact he was just like Kennedy. He was trying to make it seem like if you attacked him with criticism of his experience, you were attacking Kennedy. He was making a comparison as the center of his point.

@Daniel_Robinson 6 жыл бұрын

Plus experience is a quality.

@FormedUnique 4 жыл бұрын

The point was inexperience and he was saying "I had just as much experience as Kennedy" that's irrelevant to the point because Kennedy was naturally better was bentsens point. He doesn't have the inherent ability like Kennedy. It's like saying I have been boxing two years I have as much experience as Mike Tyson did when he boxed for two years. Sure you have the same experience but Tyson was ready to be champ and you likely werent

It's not a matter of him being right or me being right. It's a matter of me going meta and realizing that what this whole debate is about is about him defending his own personal biases his ego and me defending my personal biases and my ego. And all that's happening here is we're just clashing our biases together without any kind of higher awareness and that's like a light bulb going up. This is a earth-shattering revelation when you realize this then you go meta on the whole debate and you realize ah i see this is not going to be resolved at the level of defeating his ideas or him defeating my ideas and it doesn't matter who wins this debate because this is all just an ego game. And then i can look inside of myself and i can realize oh yeah i can actually use mindfulness to penetrate into my own body become aware of my ego at work inside of me generating this ideology and then defending it and being closed-minded about it and refusing to look at the situation from a higher perspective. I can actually feel my body getting hotter. I can feel myself getting angry or defensive when he's making a good point. I can also start to notice the various manipulative tricks that his ego is using against me in this debate and then i can notice myself using those tricks against him and i can notice the double standards that i have and i can notice my own biases and i can notice his biases and i can notice the fact that the only reason i'm arguing with him is because i have a certain survival agenda that i'm trying to defend with my ego and i can notice that he's doing the same thing and when all of that is noticed the entire game of this debate collapses. That would be going meta. Can you see how powerful that is can you see how liberating that is. You see this is the kind of higher dimensional move that needs to be done to solve this particular problem.
