Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Launch Trump and Musk on Single-Journey Trip to Space

After spending decades researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unique solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as showing similar traits: transporting them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.

Legacy Interview Discloses Honest Views

This remarkable perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was recorded in March and preserved confidential until after her latest death at 91 years old.

"There are people I dislike, and I want to send them on a SpaceX vessel and dispatch them to the planet he's sure he'll locate," commented Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.

Named Figures Mentioned

When questioned whether Elon Musk, known for his disputed actions and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded positively.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the leader. Envision who I'd put on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"And then I would add Vladimir Putin on board, and I would put China's President Xi. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister on that journey and his political allies. Place them all on that vessel and dispatch them."

Previous Criticism

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about the former president especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he displayed "similar type of conduct as a male chimpanzee will show when he's competing for leadership with a rival. They stand tall, they strut, they present themselves as much larger and aggressive than they truly are in order to daunt their rivals."

Alpha Behavior

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall elaborated on her analysis of alpha personalities.

"We see, remarkably, two categories of alpha. One does it through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't endure very long. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like a young male will only challenge a superior one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And research shows, they remain much, much longer," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The celebrated primatologist also studied the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had taught her about hostile actions exhibited by groups of humans and primates when faced with something they viewed as threatening, despite the fact that no threat actually existed.

"Chimpanzees see an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they get very stimulated, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and touch another, and they display expressions of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the others adopt that emotion that one member has had, and they all become aggressive," she explained.

"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. Everyone desires to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're protecting their territory or battling for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she thought comparable patterns occurred in people, Goodall replied: "Likely, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are ethical."

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

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London prior to the beginning of the Second World War, compared the struggle against the darkness of current political landscape to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by the prime minister.

"However, this isn't to say you don't have periods of sadness, but then you come out and state, 'Alright, I'm not going to let them win'," she commented.

"It's similar to Churchill throughout the battle, his renowned address, we shall combat them along the shores, we shall battle them through the avenues and urban areas, afterward he commented to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her final address, Goodall shared motivational statements for those combating governmental suppression and the climate emergency.

"At present, when the planet is challenging, there remains possibility. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you become indifferent and do nothing," she recommended.

"And if you wish to protect the existing splendor on our planet – if you want to save the planet for coming generations, your descendants, their grandchildren – then contemplate the actions you make every day. Since, multiplied a million, a billion times, modest choices will make for substantial improvement."
