An interpretation:

- Many people want to be able to have agency in what their future is like.

- A quest for economic and technological growth makes the future unknowable, and makes predictions about what skills (and capital) will provide a livelihood to support your family as tricky as predictions about how much a startups equity will be worth. Many (most?) people can't effectively make these predictions and they suffer pretty badly.
