Summary

This quote suggests that much of the anxiety we experience in our modern times stems from our attempts to tackle contemporary challenges using outdated tools and outdated ways of thinking. It implies that our world is constantly evolving, and in order to navigate it effectively, we need to adapt our tools and concepts to meet the demands of the present.
