From, what I can tell, Tim Ferris has nothing of value to say. His TED talk was him telling the audience that he learned to tango, learned a language, and learned to swim. Wow.
It's not about the fact that he learned it but that he took less time to learn it than the majority of people need through deconstructing the skill.

The amount of people who just can pick up any dicipline and become world class in it isn't that great.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
