This video is a masterclass in psychology. The first person to do something always looks weird. People laugh. Then somebody else joins. Then the crowds come in and the person who started the whole thing goes from looking like a goon to looking like a genius.
Grant Sanderson (one of my future podcast guests) makes excellent math-related videos on YouTube. You'll find videos on topics like linear algebra, neural networks, calculus, the math of Bitcoin, and quantum mechanics. With every video, he turns abstract symbols into concrete visualizations. Then, he adds narrative to a mathematical concept. Start with this video on the virality of Coronavirus or this series about calculus.

I also recommend John David Ebert's lecture series on Deleuze and Guattari.
I found a portal into a new world of ideas. Ebert is a brilliant orator, with a rich understanding of observant, but under-the-radar thinkers like Marshall McLuhan and Oswald Spengler. Ebert's work is a fusion of religious studies, media studies, and contemporary philosophy. Start with this serious of videos on Marshall McLuhan.
If you're looking for a video summary, I recommend this series of five interviews with Girard himself.
In particular, I enjoyed this video interview and this written summary.
