Very helpful video. I will definitely show this to my intro 100 level data science students (the course is Data Science and Visualization) at Elon University. I love the tie-ins to astronomy and writing! This is a slam dunk for General Studies.
My take: after a year or two of this "data scientist" hype, some companies will figure out how to do a decent enough job of it with a team of people, each bringing a different part of the needed skills. In the end, it's not that you need all these skills in a single person - you can have a team with each skill, and add someone with a good communication ability to help them communicate with each other.
As great as his talk and presentation may be, it means there will not bu such a career as "Data Scientist". We may actually have some data scientists as he defines out there, but there's no way anyone will teach anyone who's not originally brilliant all those skills - and those who are will have so many other options, that there will always be a lack of people for the data scientist positions.

This was a great talk and I'm glad to have it available. Got many insights. For some reason the video stops at 12:51. O'Reilly??
