Are you not contradicting yourself bt saying first "We fundamentally can't learn unit level causal effect" at 1:20 and secondly, after introducing ATE, by saying "take everybody in your population and you look at their unit level causal effect" at 2:20?
I caught that too. My guess is: that's the theoretical definition. But in real life, we estimate it by taking the sample mean for the treatment group and the sample mean for control, And then a difference between those.
simple but great illustration on the subject matter

Nice explanation, thanks for putting it together
Thank you for the video. Could you provide references (i.e. empirical papers or textbooks) for the theoretical part?
super helpful & easy to understand
Note that, when your outcome is lethality, you can have the opposite. Negative is the protective factor.
This is so friggen useful. Thanks!
Very well explained
