Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Space Mission

After spending decades studying chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her passing, the famous primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as showing similar qualities: launching them on a permanent journey into outer space.

Final Documentary Reveals Candid Thoughts

This extraordinary insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Final Words", which was captured in March and maintained private until after her recent demise at the age of 91.

"I know individuals I dislike, and I want to send them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the celestial body he's certain he's going to discover," commented Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.

Particular Personalities Identified

When asked whether the tech billionaire, famous for his questionable behavior and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall replied positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the leader. Picture the people I would place on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she stated.

"And then I would add Vladimir Putin in there, and I would place China's leader. I would definitely include Benjamin Netanyahu among the passengers and his political allies. Send them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Earlier Comments

This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump specifically.

In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he exhibited "the same sort of actions as a male chimpanzee demonstrates when vying for supremacy with an opponent. They posture, they strut, they project themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they truly are in order to intimidate their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall further explained her analysis of dominant individuals.

"We get, remarkably, two types of leader. The first achieves dominance solely through combat, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't endure very long. Others do it by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will merely oppose a more dominant one if his ally, often his brother, is supporting him. And research shows, they remain much, much longer," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also examined the "politicization" of actions, and what her extensive studies had taught her about hostile actions displayed by groups of humans and apes when faced with something they considered threatening, even if no risk actually existed.

"Primates encounter a stranger from an adjacent group, and they get highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they show expressions of rage and terror, and it catches, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that a single individual has had, and they all become hostile," she described.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Certain displays that become hostile, it spreads among them. They all want to become and join in and turn violent. They're defending their domain or competing for supremacy."

Comparable Human Reactions

When inquired if she considered similar dynamics occurred in human beings, Goodall responded: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My primary aspiration is nurturing future generations of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But do we have time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Context

Goodall, a London native five years before the commencement of the Second World War, likened the battle with the challenges of current political landscape to England opposing Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you don't have moments of depression, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'Alright, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she commented.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister in the war, his iconic words, we'll fight them along the shores, we will resist them through the avenues and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a friend and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of damaged containers as that's the only thing we actually possess'."

Final Message

In her final address, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those fighting against governmental suppression and the climate emergency.

"Even today, when the planet is challenging, there still is hope. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you grow indifferent and remain inactive," she counseled.

"Should you want to preserve what is still beautiful in this world – if you want to protect our world for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, later generations – then contemplate the choices you implement each day. As, multiplied numerous, multiple occasions, even small actions will generate substantial improvement."
