Which astrology readings and such? The ones that are so vague they could mean almost anything, and are therefore not falsifiable?

I DO agree with the principles shown in the video.

I think you ruined it a little bit by commenting nonesense. My opinion is.

It's like that video tries to make a point, but comes short of making one.

i watched about a minute and a half of it and cut it off... just seemed unprofessional and the music was annoying.

I didn't watch the video, just like I don't follow any of the umpteen silly links you post as some kind of replacement for independent thought. Keep that in mind.

Astrology readings are just like magic tricks: an illusion performed by perceptive and clever people to deceive people who want to believe in "something more". I find it hard to believe that celestial bodies control who I am and what I do.

I wouldn't mind if you could elavorate some more about why you think it did not hit the mark.

It caught my attention in the beginning as soon as it showed self-ownership, however it only associated it with your life and your liberty as your property.
When I think of self-ownership I have the tendency to lean strongly
to the side of you should own your actions; your mistakes; your successes; your way of thinking and living.
Notwithstanding, the clip is more about associating some concepts and thoughts with others to reach to an understanding.

It seemed to be trying to make a point about world politics, but stopped short of complexities and left it as a kind of "hug everybody" type thing.

I concur with that.
As an example, the ending climax was somehow vague; I found.

Sounds good, but it doesn't convey much.
