I'll just leave this here: https://media.ccc.de/c/38c3
Not sure if you can strictly call these "video essays", these are talks from the last Chaos Communication Congress that happened roughly two weeks ago. There are a lot of German ones, but many are in English as well (you can tell by the title). For the German ones there will usually be an English translation available, but as these are done live and many talks are deeply technical the quality will vary.
You also can go to older conferences by iterating the number in the URL down (37c3, 36c3, etc.)
One of the best English talks this year was from some Polish hackers about the legal aftermath of hacking a train (hired by the owner to do so, the manufacturer wasn't too happy though). The technical side of the hack they already talked about on the congress last year, so might make sense to watch both videos:

As for what to watch specifically when high, if you have any interest in cognitive sciences and AI at all the obvious recommendation would be this:
