How Do We Find True Connection in an Individualistic, Sick Planet?

(Note: while I usually tend to write more formal articles that explore specific topics and their solutions, this is the first open-ended note-style post that I’ve written in a while. Let me know if you appreciate this format in the comments!)
When I go on any form of social media, watch any news or information outlet, or engage with anyone in person or digitally, a word, a question, a prayer keeps bubbling up to the surface:
Connection.
Connection. What does it mean to be connected in an individualistic and capitalistic society that is cut off from not just the ground on which it literally stands (the earth), but increasingly its own self?
What does real connection look like in a world inundated by mass amounts of information and technology that we can barely (if at all) handle?
What does the rise of AI mean for connection?
How do we find a pathway back to connection when our trust in each other, our institutions, and life itself has either shattered or is in the process of dissolving in the fires of cynicism and nihilism?
Connection.
To be connected, to seek out, and to center our lives around kinship is at the deepest heart of humanity. After all, without connection, we wouldn’t have survived and made it to the point where we’re now tinkering with the nature of artificial intelligence and weapons of mass destruction that can wipe out the entirety of the human race many times over. Without connecting to each other and the natural world, we would have perished long, long ago.
When did we lose our reverence for connection?
When did amassing mass followers on TikTok, buying hoards of earth-destroying junk from Temu and Amazon, and getting consumed in socially sanctified hatred and paranoia of the “other” become the norm?
We humans have always been war-like creatures. But we also have the capacity for great compassion, wisdom, and respect for each other and the planet.
