# "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.07 - Onion Peeling" and What It Teaches Asxer Owners About Blind Spots

On 2020-03-29, Daniel Comp published "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.07 - Onion Peeling" 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

Onion peeling taught as a full tool: trace a trigger by asking "What's the earliest age that I can remember feeling this feeling or having this experience?" Daniel warns against masking it with alcohol, gaming or food. It is the tool he later calls the most used in his kit.

> In the first section of *Leaving Scotomaville* I'm bringing to you a bunch of pieces — tools for your toolbox.

From the YouTube description: Why do I get so emotional? ([full description on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4vXZEtQxIY))

## 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 01.07.
