Summary

This quote suggests that the world of politics tends to lag behind the realm of ideas and intellectual progress.

It could be argued that political ideologies and policymakers often struggle to adapt swiftly to changing circumstances, societal shifts, and new ideas, resulting in politics being perceived as outdated or slow to respond to the evolving needs and aspirations of the people.
