Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Launch Musk and Trump on Non-Return Space Mission

After dedicating years researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview recorded shortly before her death, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unique solution for handling specific people she viewed as displaying similar characteristics: sending them on a permanent journey into outer space.

Posthumous Film Reveals Frank Opinions

This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was recorded in March and kept confidential until after her recently announced passing at 91 years old.

"I know persons I don't like, and I would like to put them on a spacecraft and launch them to the celestial body he's convinced he'll locate," stated Goodall during her conversation with Brad Falchuk.

Specific Individuals Mentioned

When inquired whether Elon Musk, known for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be among them, Goodall answered with certainty.

"Yes, definitely. He would be the leader. You can imagine whom I would include on that vessel. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.

"Furthermore I would add Vladimir Putin among them, and I would put Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu on that journey and his administration. Send them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."

Past Observations

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about the political figure in particular.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he showed "the same sort of behavior as an alpha chimp will show when he's competing for dominance with an opponent. They stand tall, they swagger, they project themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their rivals."

Dominance Patterns

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall expanded upon her understanding of alpha personalities.

"We see, remarkably, two categories of alpha. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't endure indefinitely. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will merely oppose a more dominant one if his companion, typically a relative, is alongside him. And as we've seen, they remain much, much longer," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had shown her about combative conduct displayed by groups of humans and chimpanzees when encountering something they considered hostile, despite the fact that no risk really was present.

"Chimpanzees encounter an outsider from a neighboring community, and they get all excited, and their hair erect, and they extend and contact each other, and they display visages of rage and terror, and it catches, and the rest absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and they all become combative," she detailed.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that grow violent, it spreads among them. They all want to participate and engage and turn violent. They're defending their territory or battling for supremacy."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she thought similar dynamics occurred in human beings, Goodall answered: "Likely, in certain situations. But I truly believe that most people are decent."

"My biggest hope is nurturing the upcoming generation of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, born in London shortly before the beginning of the World War II, equated the struggle against the darkness of contemporary politics to the UK resisting German forces, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you avoid having moments of depression, but then you come out and say, 'Well, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she commented.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his famous speech, we'll fight them at the coastlines, we shall battle them in the streets and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of shattered glass since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Final Message

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those combating political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"At present, when Earth is difficult, there remains optimism. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you grow apathetic and do nothing," she recommended.

"And if you wish to protect what is still beautiful on our planet – when you wish to preserve Earth for subsequent eras, future family, their grandchildren – then contemplate the decisions you implement each day. Since, multiplied numerous, a billion times, even small actions will generate substantial improvement."
