Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Send Musk and Trump on One-Way Space Mission

After devoting her life researching chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for handling particular figures she viewed as showing similar traits: launching them on a non-return journey into outer space.

Posthumous Film Reveals Honest Views

This notable perspective into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix production "Final Words", which was recorded in March and preserved confidential until after her recent death at nine decades of life.

"I've encountered persons I dislike, and I want to place them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the celestial body he's certain he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When questioned whether the SpaceX founder, known for his controversial gestures and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He would be the leader. Envision who I'd put on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"Additionally I would put Russia's leader among them, and I would place Xi Jinping. I would definitely include the Israeli leader in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that spacecraft and send them off."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the first time that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump especially.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he exhibited "similar type of behavior as a dominant primate will show when battling for leadership with an opponent. They posture, they strut, they project themselves as significantly bigger and hostile than they really are in order to intimidate their rivals."

Leadership Styles

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall further explained her analysis of dominant individuals.

"We observe, remarkably, two kinds of alpha. One type succeeds solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't last very long. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a younger individual will just confront a superior one if his companion, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And you know, they last significantly longer," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The renowned scientist also analyzed the "politicization" of actions, and what her comprehensive research had shown her about aggressive behaviors exhibited by groups of humans and apes when confronted with something they viewed as threatening, although no danger truly existed.

"Primates see a stranger from a neighboring community, and they get all excited, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and contact each other, and they display visages of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the rest adopt that emotion that a single individual has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she detailed.

"It's contagious," she added. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. They all want to become and join in and grow hostile. They're guarding their area or fighting for control."

Human Parallels

When asked if she thought the same dynamics occurred in humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are decent."

"My biggest hope is raising future generations of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But do we have time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, originally from London shortly before the beginning of the the global conflict, likened the struggle against the difficulties of current political landscape to England opposing German forces, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you won't experience moments of depression, but subsequently you recover and say, 'OK, I'm not going to allow their success'," she stated.

"It's similar to Churchill throughout the battle, his famous speech, we shall combat them on the beaches, we shall battle them through the avenues and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to a companion and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of broken bottles as that's the only thing we've bloody well got'."

Final Message

In her last message, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those combating governmental suppression and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when Earth is dark, there remains optimism. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you become indifferent and do nothing," she counseled.

"Whenever you desire to protect the remaining beauty in this world – when you wish to preserve Earth for the future generations, your grandchildren, their offspring – then contemplate the actions you make every day. As, multiplied countless, multiple occasions, minor decisions will make for great change."
