# "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.01 - Scotomas REFLECTION" and What It Teaches Asxer Owners About Blind Spots

On 2022-05-06, Daniel Comp published "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.01 - Scotomas REFLECTION" 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 May 2022 at Lake Whitney, Daniel re-watches his 2020 Episode One and answers the viewer who says they don't know their story: "Just start." He quotes Harari on people not wanting to know they're hackable and urges them to keep recording so they can binge-watch their own progress. Paired with 0O1PfMbKCjQ, this is the Scotomas anchor that turns hindsight into a method anyone can copy.

> I don’t even know what my story is.” And here’s what I’m going to suggest: Just start.

> This being a reflection video, meaning I want to give you a perspective of what your video — your Personal Everest — might mean for you looking back and give you some insights from the summit, if you will.

From the YouTube description: Two years after shooting Episode 01, Daniel shares details of why you want to commit to your Personal Everest. ([full description on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BYCgG1a2mM))

## 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.
