If over the course of 100 years, nothing more newsworthy has prevailed to get people’s attention, that the doom and gloom of a century ago is the same as it is today, it’s saying something about the world in general that we haven’t changed.

That author’s paragraph out of context could mean a lot of different things which we can leave up to each viewer to decide.
