Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Launch Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space

After spending decades researching chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of dominant males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her death, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as showing similar qualities: sending them on a permanent journey into space.

Legacy Interview Unveils Frank Opinions

This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Famous Last Words", which was captured in March and kept secret until after her recently announced passing at the age of 91.

"There are people I dislike, and I want to put them on a SpaceX vessel and dispatch them to the planet he's convinced he'll locate," stated Goodall during her conversation with the interviewer.

Specific Individuals Identified

When asked whether the tech billionaire, known for his controversial gestures and associations, would be among them, Goodall responded positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the organizer. Envision the people I would place on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she stated.

"And then I would put Vladimir Putin on board, and I would put China's leader. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his political allies. Place them all on that spaceship and send them off."

Earlier Comments

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he showed "the same sort of conduct as an alpha chimp exhibits when battling for supremacy with another. They posture, they swagger, they present themselves as really more large and combative than they may actually be in order to daunt their competitors."

Leadership Styles

During her final interview, Goodall further explained her understanding of leadership types.

"We get, remarkably, two categories of alpha. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't remain very long. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a younger individual will just confront a superior one if his companion, often his brother, is alongside him. And research shows, they last significantly longer," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The renowned scientist also examined the "political aspect" of behavior, and what her detailed observations had taught her about combative conduct shown by human communities and chimpanzees when faced with something they considered threatening, despite the fact that no danger actually existed.

"Primates see an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they grow all excited, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and contact each other, and they show visages of hostility and apprehension, and it spreads, and the others absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become aggressive," she detailed.

"It transmits easily," she noted. "Some of these demonstrations that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. Each member wishes to get involved and become aggressive. They're protecting their territory or competing for dominance."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she considered comparable dynamics were present in humans, Goodall answered: "Probably, on occasion. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My primary aspiration is raising this new generation of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, a London native prior to the commencement of the World War II, equated the battle with the challenges of current political landscape to England opposing the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" exhibited by the prime minister.

"However, this isn't to say you won't experience moments of depression, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'OK, I'm not going to allow their success'," she remarked.

"It resembles Churchill during the conflict, his iconic words, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we will resist them along the roads and the cities, afterward he commented to a companion and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of broken bottles as that's the only thing we've bloody well got'."

Final Message

In her final address, Goodall provided inspiring thoughts for those resisting governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.

"At present, when Earth is difficult, there remains possibility. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you become indifferent and remain inactive," she counseled.

"Whenever you wish to preserve the existing splendor across the globe – should you desire to save the planet for coming generations, future family, later generations – then contemplate the choices you take each day. As, expanded numerous, innumerable instances, even small actions will make for significant transformation."
