Sad Demise in 2025 brings back memory of transition from scientist to activist
Goodall described leaving a conference as an activist rather than a scientist, stating it wasn't a conscious decision but something she knew she had to do. She also reflected on the significance of observing a chimp making a tool, which challenged the prevailing definition of
humans.

Goodall also noted the fascinating and appalling discovery of chimpanzee hostility and territorial behavior resembling primitive human warfare.
A pivotal moment of acceptance by chimpanzees in Gombe, signifies the end of her initial struggle to overcome their fear of humans.
A spiritual transformation after a second defeat led George Foreman to retire from boxing at age 28 to become a minister and evangelist. He describes a profound experience after a loss where he felt a spiritual awakening, leading him to commit the next decade of his life to the church, with his story later covering his comeback to win the heavyweight title again at age 45.
"I didn't go back to boxing for a title. I went back for the kids."
To raise money for the Houston Youth Center, he made an improbable return to the ring, starting again from the bottom. He eventually fought his way back to a match against Michael Moorer, whom Foreman defeated to regain the heavyweight title at age 45, becoming the oldest man to do so.

"You're paying me to kill him. I am charging you for getting away. And, speaking as a professional, getting away is an important consideration...Yes, with enough time and planning. It would be more difficult than most other targets. ".

The World Wide Web resembles the organization of a brain with its web pages (playing a role similar to neurons) connected by hyperlinks (playing a role similar to synapses), together forming an associative network for a complex adaptive system along which information propagates.
