easily corrected, but in the form it's existed since it was inserted,

I was not proposing to include the video in the article. That video

in Wikipedia, but perhaps sources such as these could:

It occurred to me that this Max Roser video might help:

I hope in particular that objectivists and former objectivists would
share their thoughts on it.
Best regards,
