This talk will be centered around the concept of transfer entropy, as introduced some 25 years ago. An insider's recollection will be presented that outlines the irritation that eventually led to its definition. An outsider's view will then be given of what happened in the years after, including some theoretical advances and applications from fields as diverse as brain science, finance, social sciences and music. Some remaining issues and limitations will be discussed and illustrated as well. A few more or less promising ideas for further research will conclude the journey.
