3. This guy
would be a lot more credible if he was wearing a t-shirt and sitting in front of a world map or something instead of this comical outfit.

6. She may have been sociopathic but
nothing in the video could be considered evidence of this. Addictions, racism, infidelity are all indications that she had issues but she is just as likely to have been sexually abused as she is to be a sociopath based on what was presented. There's no doubt that in her writings there is no indication that she understands anything about what drives human beings to do what they do, which is another characteristic of the sociopathic personality.

As an aside, she strikes me as repulsive.

"If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao...you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow."

14. When you look for wrinkles she doesn't seem to have any around her eyes.
But she does have lines on her forehead. Some sociopaths don't process emotion the usual way because they have no feelings (thus no crowsfeet). What human action they do process they process like we would a math problem thus the wrinkles on the forehead. From what I can see of the Ayn Rand videos on this site it seems to be the case with her.

Just try to solve a math problem in your head (bet you frowned). Now express some emotions (you have to use your eyes don't you).

Somebody doesn't understand the teleprompter.

FAIL!

22. Oh, no he doesn't. 0:29 seconds.
The graphic says, "...law tolerance for frustration..." and that's what he says. He reads and repeats the typo despite it making no sense. It's not as though he can blame an intern.

I give him credit for trying, but there is a way to edit out your mistakes before you post a video - if you're so inclined.

For that, it's a FAIL.
