The quote was written back in the 1850's it is true today
than ever. The level of detail is now absurd and makes anything that we do seem
like an impossible task but misses the point of how things work. Just imagine you
could not eat anything unless you knew the details of your digestive system. In
many ways that is what we do with everything, most things need just to be
attempted and basic modicum of knowing or even no knowledge to make it happen.
Cooking is a good example of this (as well as music) just follow the recipe without knowing why it works, just follow the information that is required and that is it. In many instances knowing why something works does not increase its effectiveness and maybe life is like that, creativity certainly is.
I have been going over much of my old NLP material for a project that I am doing and the idea of modelling someone who is good at the task you want to improve points to this. Just do what they do, nothing else, keep it simple and follow the path. the whys and wherefores do not improve this, just keep to the simple plan and do what they do.
We need time to create and we need uncluttered thinking to do this creating, much of the information we are being fed confuses us. What I used to see in adults that was a form of uncreativeness caused by the need for permission to be given before they could even think about letting go I now see it in children; the situation has not been helped by computers but is being made worse. Again if we look at what children do, they just copy what they see and what they feel and what they hear, there is no analysis just copy and then play with it.
So as we enter another year and we are released from 2018 and all the chaos that has resulted from our political thinkers maybe the only thing for us is to keep it simple.
If complexity is the way then we would have found it by now, the way for us to deal with the modernity is for there to be more simplicity in our individual dealings with the world.

Now there's a thought.
