Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Aspiration to Launch Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Space Mission

After dedicating years researching chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist shared her unusual solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: transporting them on a non-return journey into outer space.

Legacy Interview Reveals Frank Opinions

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

"There are people I dislike, and I wish to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the world he's sure he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When questioned whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his disputed actions and associations, would be among them, Goodall answered with certainty.

"Yes, definitely. He could serve as the leader. Envision whom I would include on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she stated.

"And then I would include Vladimir Putin among them, and I would place China's President Xi. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that vessel and launch them."

Past Observations

This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the former president especially.

In a previous discussion, she had observed that he exhibited "the same sort of behavior as a dominant primate will show when vying for supremacy with another. They're upright, they parade, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they really are in order to frighten their rivals."

Leadership Styles

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

"We see, remarkably, two categories of leader. One does it solely through combat, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't endure very long. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like a younger individual will merely oppose a superior one if his companion, typically a relative, is supporting him. And research shows, they endure much, much longer," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The famous researcher also examined the "politicization" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had taught her about hostile actions displayed by human communities and primates when faced with something they considered threatening, although no danger really was present.

"Primates encounter an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they become very stimulated, and their fur bristles, and they extend and touch another, and they display visages of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the others catch that feeling that this one male has had, and they all become aggressive," she explained.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to get involved and turn violent. They're defending their area or battling for supremacy."

Human Parallels

When questioned if she thought comparable behaviors applied to people, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that most people are ethical."

"My main objective is nurturing this new generation of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But do we have time? It's unclear. It's a really grim time."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London prior to the start of the Second World War, likened the battle with the darkness of contemporary politics to England opposing the Third Reich, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you avoid having moments of depression, but then you come out and state, 'OK, I won't allow to allow their success'," she stated.

"It's like Churchill throughout the battle, his iconic words, we'll fight them on the beaches, we'll fight them through the avenues and the cities, then he turned aside to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of broken bottles because that's all we've bloody well got'."

Final Message

In her last message, Goodall provided inspiring thoughts for those resisting political oppression and the climate emergency.

"Even today, when Earth is difficult, there continues to be optimism. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you grow indifferent and do nothing," she counseled.

"Whenever you wish to save the existing splendor in this world – should you desire to protect our world for subsequent eras, future family, their grandchildren – then contemplate the choices you make each day. Because, expanded a million, a billion times, minor decisions will generate great change."
