Primatologist Jane Goodall Revealed Wish to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Space Mission

After spending decades studying chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a newly published interview recorded shortly before her death, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unique solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as showing similar qualities: launching them on a non-return journey into outer space.

Legacy Interview Unveils Honest Views

This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and kept confidential until after her latest demise at nine decades of life.

"I've encountered individuals I'm not fond of, and I would like to place them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the celestial body he's certain he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When questioned whether the SpaceX founder, recognized for his controversial gestures and connections, would be part of this group, Goodall replied with certainty.

"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the host. You can imagine who I'd put on that vessel. Along with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"Additionally I would include Vladimir Putin on board, and I would include Xi Jinping. Without question I would add Benjamin Netanyahu among the passengers and his far-right government. Place them all on that spacecraft and send them off."

Previous Criticism

This was not the first time that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had shared negative views about the former president specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he displayed "comparable kind of behavior as an alpha chimp will show when vying for supremacy with an opponent. They posture, they strut, they present themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they may actually be in order to frighten their competitors."

Dominance Patterns

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her comprehension of alpha personalities.

"We observe, notably, two categories of alpha. One type succeeds solely through combat, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't remain very long. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a more dominant one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And you know, they remain much, much longer," she explained.

Social Interactions

The renowned scientist also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had shown her about combative conduct displayed by human communities and primates when confronted with something they viewed as threatening, although no threat really was present.

"Chimpanzees observe a stranger from an adjacent group, and they become all excited, and their hair erect, and they extend and make physical contact, and they show visages of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the others adopt that emotion that one member has had, and everyone turns hostile," she described.

"It's contagious," she noted. "Certain displays that grow violent, it spreads among them. Each member wishes to get involved and grow hostile. They're protecting their domain or fighting for supremacy."

Comparable Human Reactions

When questioned if she thought similar patterns were present in human beings, Goodall answered: "Probably, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are good."

"My primary aspiration is nurturing this new generation of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, originally from London shortly before the commencement of the the global conflict, compared the battle with the darkness of contemporary politics to the UK resisting German forces, and the "determined resistance" displayed by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you avoid having times of despair, but subsequently you recover and say, 'OK, I'm not going to allow their success'," she remarked.

"It's similar to the leader during the conflict, his famous speech, we shall combat them on the beaches, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of broken bottles as that's the only thing we actually possess'."

Closing Thoughts

In her last message, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those resisting political oppression and the climate emergency.

"Even today, when the planet is dark, there continues to be possibility. Don't lose hope. If you lose hope, you grow indifferent and remain inactive," she advised.

"Should you want to preserve what is still beautiful across the globe – if you want to save the planet for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their offspring – then consider the choices you make every day. As, replicated numerous, innumerable instances, even small actions will generate significant transformation."
