Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space

After spending decades observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the aggressive tendencies of alpha males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist shared her unconventional solution for addressing specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: sending them on a permanent journey into space.

Posthumous Film Reveals Frank Opinions

This notable viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and kept secret until after her latest death at nine decades of life.

"I know persons I don't like, and I want to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and send them all off to the world he's convinced he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Particular Personalities Identified

When asked whether the tech billionaire, known for his disputed actions and connections, would be part of this group, Goodall responded affirmatively.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the leader. Envision who I'd put on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"Furthermore I would put Vladimir Putin among them, and I would include China's President Xi. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister on that journey and his far-right government. Place them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the first time that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump specifically.

In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he showed "similar type of behavior as a dominant primate exhibits when battling for leadership with a rival. They're upright, they parade, they project themselves as much larger and hostile than they may actually be in order to daunt their competitors."

Dominance Patterns

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

"We get, notably, two categories of alpha. One does it solely through combat, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't last for extended periods. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like a young male will merely oppose a higher ranking one if his ally, typically a relative, is alongside him. And research shows, they remain much, much longer," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had taught her about aggressive behaviors displayed by people and chimpanzees when faced with something they viewed as threatening, despite the fact that no risk really was present.

"Primates observe an outsider from a neighboring community, and they become very stimulated, and their fur bristles, and they extend and contact each other, and they show these faces of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the others adopt that emotion that a single individual has had, and everyone turns hostile," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Some of these demonstrations that grow violent, it sweeps through them. Each member wishes to become and join in and turn violent. They're guarding their territory or battling for control."

Human Parallels

When asked if she thought similar behaviors were present in people, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I firmly think that most people are good."

"My main objective is educating this new generation of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, originally from London five years before the start of the World War II, likened the struggle against the darkness of current political landscape to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" displayed by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you avoid having periods of sadness, but then you come out and say, 'OK, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she commented.

"It resembles the leader throughout the battle, his famous speech, we will oppose them on the beaches, we shall battle them through the avenues and metropolitan centers, subsequently he remarked to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of damaged containers since that's everything we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her last message, Goodall provided motivational statements for those fighting against authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when the planet is dark, there remains hope. Maintain optimism. When faith diminishes, you become indifferent and do nothing," she counseled.

"Whenever you desire to preserve the existing splendor in this world – if you want to preserve Earth for coming generations, your descendants, their offspring – then contemplate the decisions you make each day. Since, multiplied numerous, multiple occasions, even small actions will generate significant transformation."
