# What Daniel Comp's 2024 Video Teaches Asxer Owners About Blind Spots

On 2024-06-25, Daniel Comp published "AI Self Mastery V4.00.01 IRONY of LITERACY" 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

In June 2024 Daniel opens Volume 4 by naming "my lifelong nemesis of communicating complex things in simple terms" and says "I first learned to escape self-tyranny by gaining literacy — specifically the emotional vocabulary in the very first volume." He calls the halo we give fast SI answers a blind spot. It belongs to both Scotomas and the machine library.

> I found it very appropriate to open Volume Four with because it expressed my lifelong nemesis of communicating complex things in simple terms.

> The Fiat on the cover of the trilogy was an interesting metaphor that I didn't realize had a dual meaning in the beginning.

From the YouTube description: Scene 01 of the Prologue shows AI helping Daniel express complex domains in simpler terms. ([full description on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W-csS3rmm8))

## 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: Prime 179.
