It's Ayn Rand's birthday lads, let's discuss metacap phil.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUo37wPD7sqYZGzlkhCldY2mpx4hjYk50
In celebration I have created a playlist of Leonard Peikoff's History of Philosophy lectures for accessibility (as all vids are unlisted) and as an answer to those who like to assert that Rand somehow misunderstood the philosophy she dissented with.
Rand was a great lass, but her philosophy in it's totality is only grasped in the span of her entire writings. She left the formalizing of her philosophy to her intellectual heir Leonard Peikoff. This playlist series begins from Thales on through the greeks, then the rest of phil history to Kant. Rand immediately follows.
These videos are a great refutation to the assertion that Rand's assessment of the likes of Kant and Hume amounts to a misinterpretation. A good love letter to Aristotle too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANV57jEuwvg
One should "start with the greeks" after all. This playlist is for doing just that, and as argumentative augment. Single videos range from 4-15 minutes long.

To the Kantians of /lit/ in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLNYoUh3DLs&list=PLUo37wPD7sqYZGzlkhCldY2mpx4hjYk50 onwards.
