# "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.15 - Curves" and What It Teaches Asxer Owners About Blind Spots

On 2020-05-11, Daniel Comp published "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.15 - Curves" 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 explains linear versus exponential curves and network math, and warns that a repeat strength offender keeps doing the same thing and expecting different results. "Knowing how a curve is created and being able to spot them is critical to Leaving Scotomaville." In 2020 it was a primer on why change, SI included, feels sudden.

From the YouTube description: The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. ([full description on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hG5s3Uu5lM))

## 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.
