Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Wish to Send Musk and Trump on Single-Journey Space Mission

After dedicating years observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Legacy Interview Unveils Candid Thoughts

This remarkable perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and kept secret until after her latest death at the age of 91.

"There are individuals I dislike, and I want to send them on a spacecraft and launch them to the world he's convinced he'll locate," stated Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.

Named Figures Targeted

When inquired whether Elon Musk, known for his controversial gestures and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall answered with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He could serve as the host. Picture whom I would include on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she stated.

"Additionally I would put Vladimir Putin in there, and I would include China's leader. I would definitely include the Israeli leader in there and his far-right government. Place them all on that vessel and send them off."

Past Observations

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about Donald Trump specifically.

In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he exhibited "similar type of actions as an alpha chimp will show when vying for dominance with an opponent. They posture, they strut, they portray themselves as much larger and aggressive than they may actually be in order to frighten their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

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

"We observe, remarkably, two categories of dominant individual. One does it solely through combat, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't remain for extended periods. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like a younger individual will only challenge a higher ranking one if his companion, typically a relative, is alongside him. And you know, they endure much, much longer," she detailed.

Collective Behavior

The renowned scientist also examined the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about combative conduct displayed by human communities and primates when encountering something they considered threatening, even if no danger truly existed.

"Primates observe a stranger from a neighboring community, and they become very stimulated, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and touch another, and they display these faces of rage and terror, and it spreads, and the others absorb that sentiment that this one male has had, and they all become aggressive," she detailed.

"It's contagious," she continued. "Some of these demonstrations that grow violent, it spreads among them. Everyone desires to become and join in and grow hostile. They're protecting their territory or fighting for supremacy."

Similar Human Behavior

When inquired if she thought similar behaviors occurred in people, Goodall responded: "Probably, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are ethical."

"My main objective is educating this new generation of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, a London native five years before the commencement of the Second World War, equated the fight against the difficulties of present day politics to England opposing German forces, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the British leader.

"However, this isn't to say you avoid having periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and state, 'Well, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she stated.

"It's like Churchill throughout the battle, his iconic words, we shall combat them on the beaches, we'll fight them along the roads and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of damaged containers since that's everything we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her last message, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those combating political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"Even today, when the planet is challenging, there still is hope. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and take no action," she advised.

"Whenever you wish to preserve the remaining beauty across the globe – should you desire to preserve Earth for the future generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then contemplate the actions you take daily. Because, multiplied numerous, a billion times, even small actions will create great change."
