Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Transport Musk and Trump on Non-Return Space Mission
After spending decades observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of dominant males. In a newly published interview recorded shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist revealed her unique solution for handling specific people she viewed as displaying similar traits: transporting them on a non-return journey into outer space.
Final Documentary Reveals Honest Views
This remarkable insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Final Words", which was captured in March and maintained private until after her recently announced death at the age of 91.
"There are individuals I don't like, and I want to put them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the world he's certain he'll locate," remarked Goodall during her conversation with Brad Falchuk.
Particular Personalities Mentioned
When asked whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his controversial gestures and political alliances, would be part of this group, Goodall answered positively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the organizer. Picture the people I would place on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.
"Furthermore I would include Russia's leader among them, and I would put Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu among the passengers and his administration. Place them all on that spaceship and launch them."
Earlier Comments
This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the former president specifically.
In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he displayed "similar type of behavior as an alpha chimp will show when battling for leadership with a rival. They're upright, they parade, they project themselves as much larger and hostile than they truly are in order to daunt their rivals."
Dominance Patterns
During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of alpha personalities.
"We get, interestingly, two kinds of dominant individual. One type succeeds solely through combat, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't remain very long. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a young male will only challenge a more dominant one if his companion, often his brother, is supporting him. And research shows, they remain far more extended periods," she explained.
Social Interactions
The renowned scientist also analyzed the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had revealed to her about aggressive behaviors displayed by people and primates when confronted with something they perceived as hostile, although no risk actually existed.
"Chimpanzees observe a stranger from a nearby tribe, and they grow very stimulated, and their hair erect, and they reach out and contact each other, and they've got visages of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the rest catch that feeling that one member has had, and they all become hostile," she described.
"It's contagious," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. They all want to become and join in and become aggressive. They're guarding their area or competing for control."
Comparable Human Reactions
When questioned if she believed comparable dynamics applied to human beings, Goodall answered: "Probably, on occasion. But I strongly feel that most people are decent."
"My biggest hope is educating future generations of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, born in London five years before the commencement of the World War II, compared the struggle against the challenges of present day politics to England opposing the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by the British leader.
"However, this isn't to say you avoid having times of despair, but then you come out and say, 'Well, I refuse to allow their success'," she commented.
"It's like Churchill during the conflict, his iconic words, we'll fight them along the shores, we will resist them through the avenues and the cities, afterward he commented to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of damaged containers as that's the only thing we truly have'."
Parting Words
In her last message, Goodall offered motivational statements for those fighting against authoritarian control and the ecological disaster.
"In current times, when the planet is dark, there still is hope. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you grow unresponsive and remain inactive," she counseled.
"Should you want to save the existing splendor on our planet โ should you desire to save the planet for the future generations, your descendants, later generations โ then consider the actions you take each day. Since, replicated countless, multiple occasions, modest choices will generate significant transformation."
