This is 2009 right? I almost expected the classic 100+ year old quote, but knowing the year still has the same effect of conveying how something that feels recent has been felt forever.

I'm not certain. I heard this in a webinar around 2017-2018 I believe (conducted by the same guy [1] who turned me onto Wendell Berry in the first place).
