Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on One-Way Space Mission

After spending decades researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of dominant males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist revealed her unusual solution for handling specific people she viewed as displaying similar qualities: launching them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Legacy Interview Discloses Frank Opinions

This remarkable insight into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and maintained confidential until after her latest passing at the age of 91.

"There are people I dislike, and I would like to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the world he's certain he'll find," stated Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When asked whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be among them, Goodall responded positively.

"Yes, definitely. He could serve as the organizer. Picture who I'd put on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"And then I would include the Russian president in there, and I would put China's leader. Without question I would add the Israeli leader on that journey and his far-right government. Send them all on that spaceship and send them off."

Earlier Comments

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a supporter of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about the political figure specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he displayed "the same sort of actions as an alpha chimp demonstrates when vying for leadership with an opponent. They stand tall, they strut, they portray themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to frighten their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of dominant individuals.

"We observe, notably, two kinds of leader. One does it all by aggression, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't remain very long. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like a young male will merely oppose a superior one if his friend, typically a relative, is supporting him. And research shows, they remain significantly longer," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also analyzed the "social dimension" of actions, and what her detailed observations had taught her about combative conduct displayed by human communities and apes when confronted with something they considered dangerous, even if no threat really was present.

"Chimps encounter an unfamiliar individual from an adjacent group, and they grow highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they extend and contact each other, and they display these faces of rage and terror, and it catches, and the rest absorb that sentiment that this one male has had, and they all become combative," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Some of these demonstrations that become hostile, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to get involved and become aggressive. They're defending their territory or competing for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When inquired if she believed similar dynamics occurred in people, Goodall answered: "Likely, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are good."

"My main objective is raising future generations of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. It's a really grim time."

Historical Context

Goodall, originally from London five years before the beginning of the Second World War, equated the struggle against the darkness of present day politics to Britain standing up Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by Winston Churchill.

"This doesn't imply you won't experience moments of depression, but then you come out and declare, 'Well, I'm not going to let them win'," she remarked.

"It resembles the leader during the conflict, his famous speech, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we'll fight them in the streets and the cities, afterward he commented to a friend and was heard to say, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of damaged containers as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those fighting against governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.

"In current times, when the planet is challenging, there continues to be hope. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you turn into indifferent and remain inactive," she counseled.

"Whenever you wish to protect the remaining beauty in this world – should you desire to save the planet for coming generations, future family, later generations – then contemplate the choices you make every day. Since, replicated countless, a billion times, minor decisions will generate great change."
