Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Wish to Transport Trump and Musk on Non-Return Trip to Space

After spending decades researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her death, the famous primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for handling specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: sending them on a non-return journey into outer space.

Final Documentary Unveils Frank Opinions

This remarkable perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and maintained secret until after her latest death at nine decades of life.

"I've encountered individuals I dislike, and I want to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the planet he's sure he'll find," stated Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.

Specific Individuals Mentioned

When inquired whether the SpaceX founder, recognized for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be part of this group, Goodall responded positively.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the organizer. You can imagine the people I would place on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.

"Furthermore I would include Russia's leader on board, and I would include Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put the Israeli leader among the passengers and his far-right government. Put them all on that vessel and send them off."

Previous Criticism

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about the political figure especially.

In a earlier conversation, she had observed that he exhibited "comparable kind of actions as a male chimpanzee exhibits when vying for leadership with a rival. They're upright, they strut, they portray themselves as really more large and combative than they truly are in order to frighten their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of leadership types.

"We get, interestingly, two types of dominant individual. One type succeeds all by aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't last for extended periods. Others do it by using their brains, like a young male will merely oppose a more dominant one if his friend, often his brother, is alongside him. And you know, they remain much, much longer," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The celebrated primatologist also examined the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had taught her about hostile actions shown by groups of humans and primates when confronted with something they considered threatening, although no risk actually existed.

"Chimps encounter a stranger from a nearby tribe, and they grow highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and touch another, and they display these faces of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the others catch that feeling that this one male has had, and the entire group grows hostile," she explained.

"It's contagious," she noted. "Certain displays that grow violent, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to participate and engage and turn violent. They're guarding their area or battling for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she thought the same dynamics applied to human beings, Goodall answered: "Likely, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that most people are decent."

"My biggest hope is educating the upcoming generation of compassionate citizens, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? It's unclear. It's a really grim time."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, born in London prior to the start of the Second World War, equated the battle with the difficulties of contemporary politics to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" shown by Winston Churchill.

"This doesn't imply you won't experience moments of depression, but eventually you emerge and state, 'Alright, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she remarked.

"It's like Churchill during the conflict, his famous speech, we'll fight them along the shores, we shall battle them along the roads and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of broken bottles since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Closing Thoughts

In her final address, Goodall provided motivational statements for those combating authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.

"At present, when the planet is challenging, there continues to be optimism. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you turn into indifferent and take no action," she advised.

"Whenever you wish to preserve what is still beautiful on our planet – when you wish to preserve Earth for coming generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then think about the choices you implement every day. Since, replicated numerous, innumerable instances, even small actions will generate substantial improvement."
