    I've listened to it a few times now, gotta say, finally someone said it, if everyone is incredible at everything they do, then no one is incredible.

    Didn't he say the opposite of this? He says "You're not special... Because everyone is".

    is the glass half full or half empty. Regardless of the wording, both mean essentially the same, and its just semantics. If we tell everyone that they're extraordinary, then no one is extraordinary, the very meaning of the word extraordinary can not apply to an entire population.
