There is a number of people I did fall in love with in the recent past (about 2 years), listed in the chronology of feeling the admiration:

• Cornel West, for being on the race to become US president, on a convincingly moral platform.
• Jill Stein, for the same reason as West, only with a lot more electoral experience.
• Briahna Joy Gray, for speaking strongly against immoral acts of US government as a journalist. She happens to have interviewed both West and Stein.
• Aslı Bâli, for teaching me how the world works, her being a scholar of international law.
• Rania Khalek, for teaching me about Syria. She happens to have been interviewed by Briahna Joy Gray.
• Fadhel Kaboub, for campaigning on a proposal to reduce suffering of people in Africa. He also happens to have been interviewed by Briahna Joy Gray.
• Mark Z. Jacobson, for showing that green technology (solar, wind, water) of today are all that is needed to urgently combat climate change.
• Thea Riofrancos, for teaching me about the harms of mining, while linking it to environmental activism.
