"To not get sucked into that black hole too soon, let’s shine a light on the idea of human language. Language connects us. Language connects one human being to another. Through space and time. Language transports meaning between minds, sense between bodies, it can make us understand each other and ourselves. It can make us feel what others feel. Language is a bridge.

If we disconnect one side of the bridge, the bridge falls. If one listener or speaker, writer, or reader stops feeling what is said, the bridge crumbles. Language without a body is senseless, meaningless, void. As the machines start outdoing us technically, let’s not forget the almost unspeakable beauty of understanding each other.”
