Primatologist Jane Goodall Revealed Desire to Send Musk and Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space

After dedicating years observing chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an expert on the hostile behavior of leading males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her death, the famous primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for handling particular figures she viewed as displaying similar qualities: transporting them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Posthumous Film Discloses Candid Thoughts

This notable perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and preserved private until after her latest death at nine decades of life.

"There are people I dislike, and I wish to send them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the planet he's certain he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her discussion with Brad Falchuk.

Specific Individuals Identified

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

"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the leader. You can imagine whom I would include on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.

"Additionally I would add the Russian president on board, and I would put Xi Jinping. Without question I would add Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."

Previous Criticism

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the former president specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he showed "comparable kind of conduct as a dominant primate demonstrates when he's competing for dominance with another. They posture, they parade, they present themselves as really more large and aggressive than they may actually be in order to daunt their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her understanding of alpha personalities.

"We get, notably, two categories of leader. One does it solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't remain indefinitely. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a young male will merely oppose a superior one if his companion, often his brother, is alongside him. And you know, they endure much, much longer," she detailed.

Group Dynamics

The renowned scientist also analyzed the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about combative conduct shown by people and apes when faced with something they considered hostile, despite the fact that no threat actually existed.

"Primates encounter a stranger from a neighboring community, and they grow very stimulated, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and make physical contact, and they show expressions of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that this one male has had, and everyone turns hostile," she explained.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. They all want to get involved and turn violent. They're protecting their territory or battling for dominance."

Comparable Human Reactions

When inquired if she considered similar behaviors applied to people, Goodall replied: "Likely, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that most people are ethical."

"My primary aspiration is raising this new generation of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, born in London shortly before the commencement of the World War II, compared the fight against the challenges of contemporary politics to England opposing Nazi Germany, and the "determined resistance" exhibited by the British leader.

"This doesn't imply you won't experience periods of sadness, but eventually you emerge and say, 'Well, I won't allow to allow their success'," she remarked.

"It's similar to the leader throughout the battle, his famous speech, we shall combat them along the shores, we'll fight them along the roads and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of broken bottles since that's everything we truly have'."

Final Message

In her final address, Goodall offered words of encouragement for those fighting against political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"In current times, when Earth is dark, there still is possibility. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you become apathetic and take no action," she advised.

"Should you wish to save what is still beautiful on our planet – should you desire to protect our world for subsequent eras, your descendants, their grandchildren – then consider the decisions you take each day. Because, multiplied countless, innumerable instances, minor decisions will create substantial improvement."
