If it's meant for science undergrads-- looks good. If it's meant for laypeople, I think you need to reduce the numbers down to more basic concepts. Once you pulled out the math, I had no way to know what ideas you were referring to.
I should stress that before doing QFT, a good review on QM would help. That I have covered in:
The Essential Quantum Mechanics and Harmonic Oscillators, Vacuum Energy, Pauli Exclusion Principle
Hope that helps

It's worth watching.
I haven't watched that video but I have come across WLC's argument on "infinity as potential" and "infinity as actual". Let me make a quick rebuttal: physicists don't care about that. Whenever we do a derivative or an integral, we don't make that distinction between these two. So basically, WLC is rejecting everything that was ever done in science since Newton and Leibnitz invented calculus.
I have no clue what the hell the stuff in those two links you posted above the video means... But WLC got completely obliterated in that debate.
