You’ve hit the nail on the head with your list of anxieties. I have been feeling the same way, these tools can be cognitively overwhelming to use everyday since there’s so much to process and it’s easy to slip up now and then.
I found this quote from Brad De Long very interesting: “So why Adam Tooze’s heightened sense of disruption I believe—for I feel very much the same way— that it is because this time Schumpeterian creative destruction is coming for me. It is my profession and the way I live my life that has the prospect of being totally upended.”

Very well put. It is existential.
