Thomas can add to this description if he so wishes.
The presenter in the video asks us to consider "Why is there a Universe. Why is there something instead of nothing?" He asks the audience to treat the question solemnly and not laugh at him. He says it's the most sublime, deepest question that man can pose. Interestingly he uses Wheeler to buttress his delivery except that Wheeler never asked Why. Wheeler asked How. Big difference.
He brings in Leibniz and the fact that god made it all out of nothingness because god is super great and super powerful and super, super, super duper. He talks about god and that if god is really so godly he would ask himself "Whence cometh I?" but then says let's forget about god. He talks about Buddhism and the world as a great nothing. The audience is chuckling and entertained and he reminds them that he is about to get serious.
He then mentions science and more recent scientific insights such as quantum theory and Hawking and Krauss that the universe is a quantum fluctuation from nothing. He says this is not science but religion because physical laws and divine commands are the same thing. Mindless forces are divine command in disguise apparently.
He keeps asking why, why, why, gets into the multiverse and all possible realities. He says this is religious going back to Plato, juxtaposing "sheer nothingness" and "everythingness" and that there's just all these in-between realities that may contain imperfect deities. He says the resolution to his mystery of existence is that we're living in an in-between reality, random and generic and that it doesn't need a special explanation.
He asks why we should care. He says that morality and ethics wouldn't matter in those extreme special realities so living in a generic mediocre reality gives us purpose in an absurd universe. Mentions Russel that we should just observe that the universe is there, okay, no need for astonishment and mystery mongering.
So in the end he maintains that we're inhabiting one of those imperfect realities where gods aren't really gods and people have all kinds of problems but that it gives our lives purpose. He talks about the question and mentions many who have dabbled with the question and offers his resolution to the question.
