'What We’re Missing With Human Connection' is a 2020 essay by 📝Will Cady published on 📝Medium during the early months of the 📝COVID-19 pandemic. It contends that, preceding widespread “social distancing,” public discourse had increasingly emphasized “📝empathy,” as seen in business rhetoric, education, and popular media. According to Cady, the abrupt loss of in-person presence clarified what many were seeking: a felt sense of connection not satisfied by discussion alone. He argues that words—described as the “language of logic”—can bridge ideas but not necessarily people, implying that connection requires modes of attunement beyond verbal explanation, a gap that the pandemic brought into relief.
