Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Revealed Wish to Send Trump and Musk on Non-Return Space Mission
After dedicating years researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of alpha males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist shared her unconventional solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar traits: transporting them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.
Final Documentary Reveals Frank Opinions
This extraordinary insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and maintained confidential until after her recently announced death at the age of 91.
"I know individuals I dislike, and I want to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and send them all off to the planet he's certain he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.
Specific Individuals Mentioned
When questioned whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his disputed actions and associations, would be included, Goodall responded affirmatively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the leader. You can imagine who I'd put on that spacecraft. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"Additionally I would include Russia's leader in there, and I would put Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu among the passengers and his far-right government. Send them all on that spacecraft and launch them."
Earlier Comments
This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump especially.
In a 2022 interview, she had remarked that he exhibited "comparable kind of conduct as an alpha chimp will show when battling for dominance with an opponent. They're upright, they strut, they project themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to intimidate their competitors."
Dominance Patterns
During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of leadership types.
"We get, notably, two kinds of dominant individual. The first achieves dominance through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't endure indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a young male will merely oppose a higher ranking one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they last far more extended periods," she detailed.
Group Dynamics
The celebrated primatologist also studied the "political aspect" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about combative conduct exhibited by people and primates when faced with something they viewed as threatening, even if no threat truly existed.
"Primates observe an outsider from a neighboring community, and they grow all excited, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and contact each other, and they've got visages of hostility and apprehension, and it spreads, and the rest catch that feeling that one member has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she explained.
"It's contagious," she added. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. Each member wishes to get involved and become aggressive. They're protecting their area or fighting for dominance."
Comparable Human Reactions
When asked if she thought similar patterns occurred in human beings, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I truly believe that the majority of individuals are good."
"My primary aspiration is raising the upcoming generation of caring individuals, roots and shoots. But do we have time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, originally from London shortly before the beginning of the World War II, compared the struggle against the difficulties of present day politics to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by the British leader.
"However, this isn't to say you won't experience times of despair, but eventually you emerge and say, 'Well, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she commented.
"It's like the Prime Minister during the conflict, his famous speech, we'll fight them at the coastlines, we'll fight them through the avenues and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of broken bottles as that's the only thing we've bloody well got'."
Final Message
In her final address, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those fighting against authoritarian control and the ecological disaster.
"In current times, when Earth is dark, there remains optimism. Don't lose hope. If you lose hope, you become indifferent and take no action," she counseled.
"Should you desire to protect the remaining beauty in this world – when you wish to protect our world for the future generations, your descendants, later generations – then contemplate the choices you take daily. As, replicated a million, innumerable instances, even small actions will generate substantial improvement."
