Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Transport Trump and Musk on Non-Return Space Mission

After devoting her life studying chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the aggressive tendencies of leading males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her passing, the famous primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a non-return journey into space.

Posthumous Film Reveals Honest Views

This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix documentary "Last Statements", which was captured in March and preserved confidential until after her recent demise at nine decades of life.

"There are persons I dislike, and I would like to put them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the celestial body he's sure he'll locate," stated Goodall during her discussion with Brad Falchuk.

Specific Individuals Mentioned

When inquired whether the tech billionaire, famous for his questionable behavior and connections, would be included, Goodall responded positively.

"Oh, absolutely. He would be the leader. Picture whom I would include on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she announced.

"Furthermore I would add Russia's leader on board, and I would place Xi Jinping. I would definitely include the Israeli leader in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that spacecraft and launch them."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump in particular.

In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he displayed "comparable kind of actions as a dominant primate demonstrates when battling for dominance with another. They stand tall, they strut, they project themselves as really more large and hostile than they really are in order to daunt their competitors."

Dominance Patterns

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall expanded upon her understanding of dominant individuals.

"We observe, interestingly, two kinds of dominant individual. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't last for extended periods. Others do it by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will merely oppose a more dominant one if his companion, typically a relative, is alongside him. And as we've seen, they remain much, much longer," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The celebrated primatologist also studied the "politicization" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had taught her about aggressive behaviors exhibited by human communities and primates when faced with something they viewed as threatening, even if no threat really was present.

"Primates see a stranger from a neighboring community, and they get all excited, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and contact each other, and they show expressions of rage and terror, and it catches, and the rest absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and the entire group grows hostile," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it permeates the group. Each member wishes to get involved and turn violent. They're defending their territory or battling for dominance."

Comparable Human Reactions

When asked if she believed the same patterns occurred in people, Goodall responded: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are decent."

"My biggest hope is nurturing the upcoming generation of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, a London native five years before the start of the Second World War, equated the fight against the difficulties of contemporary politics to England opposing German forces, and the "determined resistance" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"That doesn't mean you don't have periods of sadness, but then you come out and state, 'Well, I won't allow to let them win'," she commented.

"It resembles Churchill during the conflict, his iconic words, we'll fight them at the coastlines, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of shattered glass since that's everything we actually possess'."

Closing Thoughts

In her last message, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those fighting against governmental suppression and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when the world is challenging, there remains optimism. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you become unresponsive and take no action," she recommended.

"And if you want to protect the existing splendor across the globe – when you wish to preserve Earth for the future generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the decisions you implement every day. As, expanded countless, a billion times, modest choices will create substantial improvement."
