Seems like he didn't challenge his own thinking by looking really hard for counter-evidence to go against what he believed and the way he behaved - he didn't follow his own first principle: "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool."

"I have just one wish for you—the good luck to be somewhere where you...do not feel forced by a need to maintain your position in the organization, or financial support, or so on, to lose your integrity." - Richard Feynman

What's most important? Richard Feyman may have said it best: "learning how to not fool ourselves—of having utter scientific integrity…a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty—a kind of leaning over backwards. For example, if you're doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid—not only what you think is right about it: other causes that could possibly explain your results; and things you thought of that you've eliminated by some other experiment, and how they worked—to make sure the other fellow can tell they have been eliminated.
Details that could throw doubt on your interpretation must be given, if you know them. You must do the best you can—if you know anything at all wrong, or possibly wrong—to explain it. If you make a theory, for example, and advertise it, or put it out, then you must also put down all the facts that disagree with it, as well as those that agree with it. There is also a more subtle problem. When you have put a lot of ideas together to make an elaborate theory, you want to make sure, when explaining what it fits, that those things it fits are not just the things that gave you the idea for the theory; but that the finished theory makes something else come out right, in addition.
In summary, the idea is to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgement in one particular direction or another."

In 2020, PBS News Hour's Jeffrey Brown spoke to Goodall about her work and the legacy she may leave behind.

"The main message that I have is that every single one of us, every single day, we make some impact on the planet," Goodall said. "And we have a choice as to what impact we make."

Just like the Warsaw Ghetto — "they’re using food, paltry amounts of food, as a bait to lure starving Palestinians to the south of #Gaza and putting them into these concentration camps."
