Books can save or destroy a culture. The political Left have been quite adept at weaponizing popular culture by producing artworks and such that promote collectivist ideas, (and I really think that's part of the reason why they resent Atlas Shrugged so much, because it's one of the most impactful and potentially life-changing books ever written, and they know it). We need more writers producing works which promote individualistic ideas and classical virtues such as courage, integrity, and honesty. The more good we put out into the world, the better that world will be.
Yeah we need to create videos. People read less and less now, and the attention spans for long form books are dwindling amongst the populace. I would say something like a TV series of "The Fountainhead" or "Atlas Shrugged" with multiple seasons would be more impactful nowadays. Think about the popularity and cultural impact of shows like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, etc...
Or think about the popularity of anime and animated media for the youth and young adults. These are formats I would look into.
