Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Transport Trump and Musk on Single-Journey Space Mission

After spending decades observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her death, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for addressing specific people she viewed as displaying similar qualities: launching them on a non-return journey into space.

Final Documentary Reveals Frank Opinions

This notable perspective into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was captured in March and kept private until after her latest death at nine decades of life.

"I know people I dislike, and I want to send them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the celestial body he's certain he'll locate," commented Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When questioned whether Elon Musk, famous for his controversial gestures and political alliances, would be included, Goodall replied with certainty.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the host. Envision the people I would place on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"Additionally I would put Vladimir Putin in there, and I would place China's leader. I would definitely include Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his political allies. Send them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Past Observations

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump especially.

In a previous discussion, she had noted that he exhibited "similar type of conduct as a male chimpanzee demonstrates when vying for supremacy with an opponent. They're upright, they strut, they project themselves as much larger and hostile than they truly are in order to intimidate their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall expanded upon her comprehension of dominant individuals.

"We get, remarkably, two categories of dominant individual. One does it through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't endure very long. The second type succeeds by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will merely oppose a superior one if his companion, often his brother, is alongside him. And as we've seen, they remain far more extended periods," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also studied the "social dimension" of actions, and what her detailed observations had shown her about hostile actions displayed by groups of humans and chimpanzees when encountering something they considered threatening, although no danger actually existed.

"Primates see an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they get all excited, and their hair erect, and they stretch and contact each other, and they've got visages of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the rest catch that feeling that one member has had, and they all become aggressive," she explained.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. Everyone desires to get involved and become aggressive. They're defending their territory or fighting for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When questioned if she thought the same dynamics applied to human beings, Goodall responded: "Likely, in certain situations. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My biggest hope is nurturing the upcoming generation of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."

Historical Context

Goodall, born in London five years before the commencement of the the global conflict, likened the fight against the darkness of contemporary politics to England opposing German forces, and the "determined resistance" exhibited by the prime minister.

"This doesn't imply you don't have times of despair, but then you come out and state, 'OK, I won't allow to allow their success'," she stated.

"It's like Churchill during the conflict, his famous speech, we will oppose them on the beaches, we will resist them through the avenues and urban areas, then he turned aside to a friend and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of broken bottles since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Final Message

In her last message, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those fighting against authoritarian control and the climate emergency.

"In current times, when the world is difficult, there remains hope. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you become unresponsive and remain inactive," she counseled.

"Whenever you want to preserve the remaining beauty in this world – if you want to protect our world for the future generations, future family, their grandchildren – then consider the actions you implement daily. Because, expanded a million, multiple occasions, modest choices will create significant transformation."
