# SCOTOMAVILLE - 01.01 Scotomas

The April 2020 opener of the series: Daniel explains why he wrote, calls the climb to self-awareness "The hardest and the most rewarding" of his life, and walks viewers through the 3x5 card blind-spot test.

Paired with its 2022 REFLECTION, this is the Scotomas anchor: a man filming himself and later re-watching to find what he missed, a practice anyone can copy.

> The hardest and the most rewarding was that personal Everest, that expedition to self-awareness. (Daniel)
