Jane Goodall Shared Aspiration to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Space Mission

After devoting her life researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of alpha males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her death, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unusual solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: sending them on a one-way journey into space.

Posthumous Film Reveals Candid Thoughts

This notable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and preserved confidential until after her recent death at nine decades of life.

"I know individuals I don't like, and I want to put them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the planet he's certain he'll locate," remarked Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Named Figures Mentioned

When inquired whether Elon Musk, famous for his controversial gestures and associations, would be included, Goodall responded affirmatively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He'd be the host. Envision the people I would place on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she declared.

"Furthermore I would add the Russian president in there, and I would put China's leader. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister on that journey and his political allies. Place them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."

Past Observations

This was not the first time that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he showed "the same sort of conduct as a dominant primate demonstrates when battling for leadership with another. They posture, they swagger, they present themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they really are in order to daunt their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall further explained her comprehension of leadership types.

"We observe, remarkably, two types of alpha. One does it solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't remain for extended periods. The second type succeeds by using their brains, like a young male will merely oppose a more dominant one if his ally, often his brother, is with him. And as we've seen, they remain significantly longer," she detailed.

Group Dynamics

The celebrated primatologist also examined the "politicization" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about aggressive behaviors exhibited by groups of humans and chimpanzees when encountering something they considered threatening, despite the fact that no risk really was present.

"Chimps encounter an outsider from an adjacent group, and they get all excited, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and make physical contact, and they show expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it catches, and the rest absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become hostile," she explained.

"It's contagious," she continued. "Some of these demonstrations that become hostile, it spreads among them. They all want to participate and engage and turn violent. They're defending their territory or battling for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When inquired if she thought similar patterns occurred in humans, Goodall answered: "Likely, in certain situations. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are good."

"My main objective is nurturing this new generation of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, born in London five years before the commencement of the World War II, likened the battle with the challenges of contemporary politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you won't experience moments of depression, but subsequently you recover and say, 'OK, I refuse to permit their victory'," she stated.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his iconic words, we will oppose them along the shores, we'll fight them through the avenues and urban areas, afterward he commented to a friend and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them at the ends of damaged containers because that's all we actually possess'."

Parting Words

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those resisting authoritarian control and the climate emergency.

"At present, when Earth is dark, there remains hope. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you turn into indifferent and do nothing," she counseled.

"Should you desire to protect the existing splendor across the globe – if you want to preserve Earth for coming generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the choices you take each day. As, multiplied countless, a billion times, minor decisions will make for substantial improvement."
