This Core Concept video focuses on Martin Heidegger's essay "Plato's Doctrine of Truth" (found in the book, Pathmarks), which discusses the Allegory of the Cave in Republic book 7. Heidegger views Plato's shift in the understanding of the essence of truth - from unhiddenness to correctness - as setting western thought on the path of metaphysics and humanism.
He also briefly discusses how Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Rene Descartes, and Friedrich Nietzsche figure into this history of western metaphysics, further developing additional conceptions of truth that remain within the trajectory originally established by Plato.

Can you make a short video on a more detailed idea of what "being" means; the way I understand it now after watching many philosophy videos. In general, is that "being" is the activity of the thing that defines its essence. And the word or name of that specific essence that is assigned to it; is a sense of an idea a "distorted interpretation" which is an "idea of an idea." Is this close to what you are saying?
"Being" is a term that gets multiple meanings. Here's my more or less standard response to requests I make videos about X - th-cam.com/video/vkXKtxleGA8/w-d-xo.html - if you're interested in commissioning a video or videos, I do that sort of work from time to time
So how does heidegger think that alethea is preferable to humanistic metaphysics? What are we missing out on that the presocratics had?
You're asking a big question here.
I'll give a short answer - aletheia is involved, for Heidegger, in all metaphysics, so the question contrasting [truth as] alethea against humanistic metaphysics isn't quite putting matters right. To start working an answer out for yourself, you want to read the entire essay.
Would you say that Heidegger is asserting that humanistic metaphysics is an anthropomorphic system by which human beings become erroneous in their conception of truth? And, if this isn't too much of a stretch, could this be a basis of thinking by which an environmentalist 'metaphysics' is founded: having a sharper sense of the non-centrality of human beings in Being?
Change "anthopomophic" to "anthopocentric", and the answer is yes
headache :(, I'm stupid
Probably not. These works are complex, so not getting them all at once doesn't mean you're stupid
Never getting them at all wouldn't make you stupid!
