Rather than, say, my family in four other countries; my friends in the city I grew up with; my political comrades in the struggles I've fought for two decades; my peers, mentors and proteges in my field; and the people I've made connections with through my life?

No thanks.

I note that you - someone I live nowhere near - have taken it upon yourself to "connect" with me in order to tell me how I should live my life.
