The reason he doesn't talk to himself in the Beacon Arc is probably because his previous self had vanished long before the story began.

Though I'm hoping Oscar can resist his fate and do things his own way, rather than Ozpin's way, since I fear Ozpin is trapped in his methodology, and cannot change his tactics regardless of what happens. All his faith in ancient ways were his undoing during the Beacon Arc, and will continue to be his undoing. As the old saying goes, "If you only do what you've always done, you'll only get what you've always gotten." If Ozpin keeps doing the same things over and over again then he'll only get the same results. And I fear Salem knows he's become predictable, hence why her plans for Beacon all but went like clockwork. I hope Oscar breaks the cycle and gets a much better result than all the Ozpins before him, but we'll see. I suppose that is the more hopeful case. Then again it's not really a curse if that's the case.
