"SCOTOMAVILLE 01.06 - Hieroglyphics" and What It Teaches Asxer Owners About Blind Spots

and What It Teaches Asxer Owners About Blind Spots

On 2020-03-27, Daniel Comp published "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.06 - Hieroglyphics" on YouTube. GB places it in Mission 2, Scotomas: Seeing What You Haven't Seen, one of five missions in the whole-library reading What 13 Years of Video Says to SI.

What the video shows

Daniel sets a hieroglyphics puzzle about an actuary's entrance test and then confesses, "I've been misleading you the entire time with the story." Storytelling is a superpower that can blind us. It is a media-literacy lesson that applies directly to fluent SI.

Well let me tell you that I've been misleading you the entire time with the story.

From the YouTube description: Most of us are unaware of how often stories mislead us. (full description on YouTube)

The asxer angle

An asxer gives an owner the same practice in a new form. Because it answers from what the owner has actually written and recorded, the owner can ask it what they have said before and notice what they keep missing. Re-watching yourself is still the method; the asxer just makes the archive easy to search.

In the books: Trilogy 01.06, Prime 167.
