Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Aspiration to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After dedicating years researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of leading males. In a recently released interview documented shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist revealed her unusual solution for dealing with certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a one-way journey into outer space.

Final Documentary Reveals Candid Thoughts

This notable viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and maintained confidential until after her recent death at the age of 91.

"There are persons I dislike, and I wish to put them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the world he's convinced he'll find," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When questioned whether the tech billionaire, famous for his controversial gestures and associations, would be among them, Goodall answered with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the organizer. You can imagine whom I would include on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she announced.

"And then I would put the Russian president on board, and I would put China's leader. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister in there and his political allies. Send them all on that vessel and dispatch them."

Earlier Comments

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about the former president especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had remarked that he displayed "similar type of behavior as a dominant primate demonstrates when he's competing for leadership with another. They stand tall, they swagger, they portray themselves as much larger and hostile than they really are in order to daunt their opponents."

Leadership Styles

During her final interview, Goodall further explained her comprehension of leadership types.

"We observe, notably, two types of alpha. One does it through pure aggression, and due to their strength and they fight, they don't endure very long. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a younger individual will just confront a superior one if his companion, frequently a sibling, is with him. And you know, they endure far more extended periods," she detailed.

Group Dynamics

The renowned scientist also studied the "political aspect" of behavior, and what her detailed observations had taught her about combative conduct displayed by groups of humans and chimpanzees when faced with something they considered threatening, despite the fact that no threat really was present.

"Chimps observe an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they become highly agitated, and their fur bristles, and they extend and contact each other, and they display visages of rage and terror, and it spreads, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that a single individual has had, and they all become hostile," she explained.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. They all want to become and join in and become aggressive. They're defending their area or competing for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When asked if she thought the same dynamics occurred in human beings, Goodall answered: "Probably, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My main objective is raising future generations of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, born in London shortly before the start of the World War II, compared the struggle against the darkness of present day politics to England opposing Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you avoid having periods of sadness, but then you come out and declare, 'OK, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she stated.

"It resembles Churchill during the conflict, his renowned address, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we will resist them in the streets and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to a friend and was heard to say, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of damaged containers since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Closing Thoughts

In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered motivational statements for those resisting governmental suppression and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when the world is challenging, there remains hope. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you become indifferent and take no action," she advised.

"Should you want to preserve what is still beautiful across the globe – when you wish to protect our world for subsequent eras, your descendants, their grandchildren – then think about the choices you implement every day. As, replicated numerous, a billion times, even small actions will generate substantial improvement."
