Quote by Jane Goodall

When I began in 1960, individuality wasn't an accepted thing to look for it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There's room for intuition.

When I began in 1960, individuality wasn't an accepted thing

Summary

This quote highlights the evolution in the understanding and study of animal behavior. In 1960, the focus was primarily on species-specific behavior rather than individual differences. However, over time, the recognition of the limitations of this approach has grown. The quote suggests that animal behavior is not exclusively bound by strict scientific principles, and there is also room for intuition in the field. This suggests a shift towards acknowledging the importance of individuality and the multifaceted nature of animal behavior research.

Like a celestial chaperon, the placebo leads us through the uncharted passageways of mind and gives us a greater sense of infinity than if we were to spend all our days with our eyes hypnotically glued to the giant telescope at Mt. Palomar. What we see ultimately is that the placebo isn't really necessary and that the mind can carry out its difficult and wondrous missions unprompted by little pills. The placebo is only a tangible object made essential in an age that feels uncomfortable with intangibles, an age that prefers to think that every inner effect must have an outer cause. Since it has size and shape and can be hand-held, the placebo satisfies the contemporary craving for visible mechanisms and visible answers . The placebo, then, is an emissary between the will to live and the body.
