Nor can I. I can certainly assess specific contradictions and suggest that they may be subtle this or thats, but without complete knowledge I can;t possibly make the claim that no contradictions exist or that my answer to any given contradiction - or indeed my set of answers to sets of contradictions, is an answer to -every- contradiction that may exist.
The self might be just such a thing. I have no way of arguing the self in except by self referential statements regarding the self. May as well say the self exists because the self exists. OTOH< I don;t think that it does, which presents a potential paradox that's just as difficult to account for.
