> Why is that quote in the piece? I don't get the analogy.

I liked the quote because what it conveys is that you can't control everything. You can't control the way people freak out about things on Twitter. You can't control an influx of new tools. But what you can control is the way you react to them – not giving in to the chaos, but instead approaching the changes with a cool head. And the Netflix show it's from, Midnight Gospel, is pretty good. I do agree that the house analogy could be better though.
