There are many ways to use the word conservative. In this case, I think he is talking about conservative in the technologies you choose to use in the critical path.
You absolutely should learn languages (as but one example) outside the TIOBE top 20. You should be very selective in where you choose to implement them. (with exceptions, of course - TypeScript is likely a pretty safe choice now, but maybe wait to hitch your trailer to Mojo in a production environment.)

I’ve expanded not the context but the content by replacing programming language/framework/tool marketing with every information transaction on the internet. Again, all of this is situated in a world of upvotes, advertising, global politics, venture capital, smartphones in every pocket, etc. The systemic effects are similar across a broad range of knowledge dissemination. It’s time to hit the brakes.
