Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Wish to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Space Mission

After devoting her life researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of leading males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her death, the famous primatologist revealed her unusual solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Final Documentary Reveals Honest Views

This extraordinary insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and maintained confidential until after her recently announced demise at 91 years old.

"I've encountered individuals I'm not fond of, and I would like to put them on a SpaceX vessel and dispatch them to the celestial body he's convinced he'll find," commented Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.

Named Figures Mentioned

When questioned whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his disputed actions and connections, would be among them, Goodall replied positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He'd be the host. Picture the people I would place on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's real supporters," she stated.

"Additionally I would add the Russian president among them, and I would place China's President Xi. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister in there and his administration. Send them all on that spacecraft and send them off."

Previous Criticism

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about Donald Trump in particular.

In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he exhibited "similar type of actions as a dominant primate demonstrates when vying for leadership with another. They're upright, they strut, they present themselves as much larger and combative than they may actually be in order to daunt their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her analysis of leadership types.

"We get, interestingly, two kinds of alpha. One type succeeds solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't endure very long. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like a younger individual will only challenge a higher ranking one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And you know, they endure far more extended periods," she explained.

Group Dynamics

The celebrated primatologist also studied the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about aggressive behaviors shown by groups of humans and chimpanzees when confronted with something they considered threatening, despite the fact that no risk truly existed.

"Primates encounter a stranger from an adjacent group, and they get all excited, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they display visages of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the rest adopt that emotion that one member has had, and the entire group grows combative," she detailed.

"It's contagious," she noted. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to get involved and grow hostile. They're protecting their territory or competing for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When inquired if she thought similar behaviors occurred in people, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that most people are decent."

"My biggest hope is nurturing this new generation of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. It's a really grim time."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, originally from London prior to the commencement of the the global conflict, compared the fight against the darkness of current political landscape to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you don't have moments of depression, but then you come out and state, 'Well, I'm not going to allow their success'," she commented.

"It's like Churchill during the conflict, his renowned address, we shall combat them on the beaches, we shall battle them through the avenues and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of broken bottles as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her final address, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those combating authoritarian control and the climate emergency.

"In current times, when Earth is dark, there continues to be optimism. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you turn into unresponsive and do nothing," she counseled.

"Whenever you want to save the existing splendor in this world – when you wish to protect our world for subsequent eras, your descendants, their offspring – then consider the decisions you make daily. As, multiplied countless, a billion times, modest choices will create substantial improvement."
