This video essay is an interesting dive into the sources of LeGuin's philosophy in Kant, Jung and Daoism and I learned something, but it's padded with flowery language and would benefit from being 10 minutes rather than 40 minutes.
It did make me interested in re-reading the LeGuin books I've read and adding "The Lathe of Heaven" to them.

"Isaac Asimov's Empire of Reason" is just as long, but better written. Less meandering and more of a crystallized thesis with a satisfying end returning to the introduction and tying things up.
