Primatologist Jane Goodall Revealed Desire to Launch Musk and Trump on One-Way Space Mission

After spending decades observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: transporting them on a permanent journey into outer space.

Final Documentary Unveils Honest Views

This notable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and kept secret until after her recent passing at nine decades of life.

"There are individuals I'm not fond of, and I want to put them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the celestial body he's certain he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.

Named Figures Targeted

When questioned whether the SpaceX founder, known for his controversial gestures and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the leader. You can imagine the people I would place on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.

"Additionally I would include Vladimir Putin in there, and I would include Xi Jinping. Without question I would add the Israeli leader among the passengers and his political allies. Put them all on that vessel and send them off."

Previous Criticism

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about the former president specifically.

In a previous discussion, she had observed that he displayed "the same sort of actions as an alpha chimp exhibits when vying for leadership with a rival. They're upright, they parade, they present themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they really are in order to intimidate their opponents."

Dominance Patterns

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall expanded upon her comprehension of leadership types.

"We see, remarkably, two types of alpha. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't endure very long. Another group achieves dominance by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will just confront a superior one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And you know, they endure much, much longer," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also studied the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about hostile actions displayed by people and chimpanzees when confronted with something they perceived as dangerous, even if no risk truly existed.

"Primates observe an unfamiliar individual from an adjacent group, and they get highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they extend and make physical contact, and they show visages of rage and terror, and it catches, and the rest absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and they all become aggressive," she described.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Various exhibitions that become hostile, it sweeps through them. They all want to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're protecting their area or battling for dominance."

Comparable Human Reactions

When questioned if she believed similar patterns were present in human beings, Goodall responded: "Probably, in certain situations. But I firmly think that most people are good."

"My biggest hope is nurturing the upcoming generation of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But do we have time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London prior to the start of the Second World War, equated the battle with the challenges of current political landscape to the UK resisting German forces, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you don't have times of despair, but then you come out and declare, 'Alright, I'm not going to allow their success'," she commented.

"It's similar to Churchill throughout the battle, his famous speech, we shall combat them along the shores, we'll fight them through the avenues and the cities, afterward he commented to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of damaged containers because that's all we truly have'."

Final Message

In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided motivational statements for those fighting against political oppression and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when the planet is dark, there remains possibility. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you turn into indifferent and do nothing," she counseled.

"Should you want to preserve the existing splendor in this world – if you want to save the planet for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then think about the decisions you implement every day. Since, expanded a million, innumerable instances, even small actions will make for substantial improvement."
