Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Send Trump and Musk on Non-Return Trip to Space
After spending decades researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the hostile behavior of alpha males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her passing, the famous primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as showing similar characteristics: sending them on a one-way journey into space.
Final Documentary Discloses Honest Views
This notable viewpoint into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and kept secret until after her recently announced demise at nine decades of life.
"There are people I'm not fond of, and I wish to send them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the world he's convinced he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.
Particular Personalities Identified
When questioned whether the tech billionaire, known for his disputed actions and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded affirmatively.
"Yes, definitely. He'd be the host. Envision who I'd put on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.
"Additionally I would add the Russian president among them, and I would include China's President Xi. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that vessel and dispatch them."
Past Observations
This was not the first time that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about Donald Trump especially.
In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he displayed "similar type of actions as an alpha chimp exhibits when vying for supremacy with another. They posture, they swagger, they portray themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to intimidate their competitors."
Leadership Styles
During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her comprehension of dominant individuals.
"We observe, interestingly, two types of leader. One type succeeds solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't endure for extended periods. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a young male will just confront a more dominant one if his friend, typically a relative, is supporting him. And you know, they remain far more extended periods," she explained.
Group Dynamics
The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had taught her about hostile actions exhibited by human communities and primates when faced with something they viewed as threatening, although no threat actually existed.
"Chimps observe an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they get highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they stretch and contact each other, and they display these faces of rage and terror, and it spreads, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and everyone turns combative," she described.
"It's contagious," she noted. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it sweeps through them. Each member wishes to become and join in and become aggressive. They're guarding their area or competing for control."
Human Parallels
When questioned if she considered similar dynamics occurred in people, Goodall answered: "Likely, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are decent."
"My biggest hope is raising future generations of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But do we have time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."
Historical Context
Goodall, born in London five years before the commencement of the the global conflict, equated the fight against the challenges of current political landscape to England opposing German forces, and the "determined resistance" exhibited by Winston Churchill.
"This doesn't imply you avoid having times of despair, but then you come out and say, 'OK, I refuse to permit their victory'," she remarked.
"It's similar to Churchill during the conflict, his iconic words, we will oppose them on the beaches, we will resist them in the streets and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them with the remnants of shattered glass because that's all we've bloody well got'."
Final Message
In her last message, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those resisting authoritarian control and the ecological disaster.
"At present, when the world is difficult, there continues to be possibility. Maintain optimism. When faith diminishes, you turn into indifferent and remain inactive," she recommended.
"Should you desire to protect the existing splendor in this world – when you wish to preserve Earth for subsequent eras, your descendants, later generations – then consider the decisions you take every day. Because, multiplied a million, innumerable instances, minor decisions will generate great change."
