2021/7/17 Explain to me why I should listen. Don't expect me to do it just to be polite. I require a reason that justifies the expense of my time. You should understand that there is a very simple reason that I would say this: I don't trust you. It's the same position you are in with any celebrity, public figure, or person of authority. The power relationship is heavily unbalanced. If you are smart you will rebalance that power by refusing their messages and information as well. You shouldn't trust them to be mindful of your precious time any more than they trust you to be of theirs.
