I remember I bought a friend Sartre's 'Being and Nothingness' and a child's colouring book and pens for his 21st birthday as joke. I did read though. I should really catch up with him - been a while. We ended up travelling the world together. Thanks.
Sometimes I feel like existentialism is an exercise in how to talk to fascists and moderate them. Other times it is a method to deal with the bittersweet experience of going shopping. I cannot agree with Sartre that an individual is humanity because they embody the capacity to choose. I never considered Sartre alongside Descartes but I have a similar assessment of both men. In both cases they seem to be overlooking a huge problem in order to make a proactive statement. Thank you for diagramming his thought. It's interesting to learn about Sartre even if I choose not to dive into his material as a choice for humanity. Like I find Sartre interesting for historical purposes but not because his content. Also, you have a gift of inviting people to listen to what they otherwise disagree with.
I'll justify this by contrasting Sartre and Epictetus. Both thinkers emphasized choice, but they differ in that Epictetus acknowledged a non-trivial universal that if we choose against is a real source of misery and not humanity-deferred as Sartre seems to have it.

This is very interesting to me.
Did Sartre write something more in depth about refuting determinsism other than this essay?
A whole book called Being and Nothingness, for starters.

Sartre doesn't say an individual is humanity. Glad you enjoyed the video
