This isn't very good advice for "any aspiring writer."
It might be good advice for someone who wants to write Hollywood TV shows or movies. It might be good advice for someone who wants to write the next Harry Potter.
It is terrible advice for someone who wants to make a living as a writer. The best advice that person can receive is to understand that you must develop some kind of additional skill or knowledge to complement your ability to write.
It's that combination that lets you add value (and find a well-paying job) in a HUGE number of businesses and industries.
Also for whatever his strengths are as a writer, any advice from Dan Harmon (or anyone for that matter) should be taken with a grain of salt.
