Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Cosmic Voyage

After spending decades studying chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of dominant males. In a recently released interview documented shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist revealed her unique solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as showing similar qualities: sending them on a permanent journey into space.

Legacy Interview Reveals Candid Thoughts

This extraordinary insight into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was filmed in March and kept confidential until after her recently announced death at nine decades of life.

"I've encountered people I don't like, and I would like to send them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the celestial body he's convinced he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Specific Individuals Mentioned

When questioned whether the tech billionaire, famous for his controversial gestures and connections, would be among them, Goodall replied positively.

"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the host. Picture the people I would place on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.

"Furthermore I would add Russia's leader in there, and I would include China's leader. I would definitely include Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his administration. Put them all on that vessel and send them off."

Past Observations

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump in particular.

In a previous discussion, she had noted that he displayed "the same sort of conduct as a dominant primate demonstrates when he's competing for dominance with an opponent. They're upright, they swagger, they present themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they really are in order to intimidate their opponents."

Alpha Behavior

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

"We get, interestingly, two types of dominant individual. One does it all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't remain very long. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a young male will merely oppose a superior one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And you know, they remain far more extended periods," she explained.

Group Dynamics

The celebrated primatologist also studied the "politicization" of actions, and what her extensive studies had taught her about aggressive behaviors exhibited by people and apes when encountering something they considered dangerous, even if no danger truly existed.

"Primates encounter an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they get all excited, and the hair stands out, and they extend and contact each other, and they've got visages of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the rest adopt that emotion that one member has had, and they all become hostile," she explained.

"It's contagious," she continued. "Some of these demonstrations that become hostile, it sweeps through them. Everyone desires to get involved and turn violent. They're defending their area or fighting for dominance."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she believed the same behaviors occurred in people, Goodall replied: "Probably, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are ethical."

"My biggest hope is raising future generations of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, a London native shortly before the start of the World War II, compared the struggle against the challenges of contemporary politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by the prime minister.

"This doesn't imply you don't have moments of depression, but then you come out and say, 'Alright, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she stated.

"It's like the leader in the war, his iconic words, we'll fight them on the beaches, we'll fight them along the roads and metropolitan centers, subsequently he remarked to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them using the fragments of damaged containers because that's all we actually possess'."

Closing Thoughts

In her final address, Goodall provided inspiring thoughts for those combating authoritarian control and the climate emergency.

"At present, when Earth is dark, there continues to be optimism. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you turn into apathetic and remain inactive," she counseled.

"Whenever you wish to preserve the existing splendor across the globe – should you desire to preserve Earth for the future generations, your grandchildren, later generations – then consider the choices you take each day. Because, replicated numerous, innumerable instances, modest choices will generate great change."
