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

After spending decades researching chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of alpha males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for dealing with certain individuals she viewed as showing similar characteristics: launching them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.

Final Documentary Unveils Candid Thoughts

This extraordinary perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was recorded in March and preserved private until after her latest demise at nine decades of life.

"I know people I'm not fond of, and I wish to send them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the world he's certain he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Mentioned

When questioned whether Elon Musk, recognized for his disputed actions and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall replied with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the host. Picture the people I would place on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.

"Additionally I would put Vladimir Putin among them, and I would put Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put the Israeli leader in there and his administration. Put them all on that vessel and dispatch them."

Past Observations

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about the political figure in particular.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he showed "the same sort of actions as a male chimpanzee demonstrates when he's competing for leadership with a rival. They posture, they parade, they present themselves as really more large and aggressive than they truly are in order to frighten their rivals."

Leadership Styles

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall expanded upon her understanding of leadership types.

"We see, remarkably, two categories of alpha. The first achieves dominance solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't last very long. The second type succeeds by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will just confront a higher ranking one if his ally, typically a relative, is with him. And research shows, they endure far more extended periods," she clarified.

Group Dynamics

The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about hostile actions shown by people and apes when encountering something they considered threatening, despite the fact that no threat truly existed.

"Chimpanzees see an unfamiliar individual from a neighboring community, and they grow all excited, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and touch another, and they've got these faces of rage and terror, and it spreads, and the rest absorb that sentiment that this one male has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she described.

"It's contagious," she noted. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it spreads among them. Each member wishes to become and join in and turn violent. They're protecting their area or competing for supremacy."

Comparable Human Reactions

When asked if she thought similar dynamics applied to humans, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are ethical."

"My primary aspiration is nurturing the upcoming generation of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But do we have time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Context

Goodall, originally from London shortly before the commencement of the the global conflict, compared the battle with the difficulties of current political landscape to the UK resisting German forces, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you don't have periods of sadness, but eventually you emerge and declare, 'Alright, I'm not going to let them win'," she commented.

"It resembles the leader throughout the battle, his iconic words, we'll fight them along the shores, we'll fight them in the streets and urban areas, then he turned aside to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them at the ends of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her final address, Goodall provided motivational statements for those fighting against political oppression and the climate emergency.

"In current times, when the planet is challenging, there continues to be possibility. Don't lose hope. Should optimism fade, you turn into indifferent and take no action," she recommended.

"And if you want to protect the existing splendor in this world – if you want to preserve Earth for coming generations, your grandchildren, their offspring – then think about the choices you implement daily. Because, expanded countless, multiple occasions, even small actions will make for significant transformation."
