This is very good teaching, thank you for making it available. Fun fact: The word "thing" has a cognate in Icelandic which means "a gathering" in the social sense, and is a common word, not just something in a dictionary, to such an extent that our parliament is called "Alþingi" or "all-thing" because it started as a national gathering, so hearing the explanation here connected the dots for me on that.
The critique included a deep critique of knowing and historical contingency and went way beyond simply "correcting the record". The 1619 project was a historical corrective but Post-Modernism took things so far that now any given attempt to describe the facts or history becomes undermined.
One good thing that came out of this lecture not being in person is that I and many other interested could watch it. Thank you so much!!

Cool fact!
funnily enough latour mentions this too in this text!
Could you upload the other lectures from this semester, please? It's helpful, thanks a lot.
