Primatologist Jane Goodall Revealed Desire to Launch Musk and Trump on Single-Journey Trip to Space

After devoting her life studying chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of alpha males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist revealed her unusual solution for handling specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: sending them on a permanent journey into space.

Legacy Interview Unveils Frank Opinions

This notable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was filmed in March and preserved secret until after her latest passing at 91 years old.

"I've encountered people I'm not fond of, and I wish to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the world he's certain he'll locate," commented Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.

Named Figures Identified

When inquired whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his questionable behavior and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He'd be the leader. You can imagine whom I would include on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she announced.

"Additionally I would put Russia's leader in there, and I would put China's President Xi. Without question I would add Benjamin Netanyahu among the passengers and his far-right government. Send them all on that spaceship and launch them."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of conservation efforts, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump specifically.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he exhibited "similar type of conduct as an alpha chimp exhibits when he's competing for supremacy with a rival. They posture, they parade, they portray themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to frighten their opponents."

Dominance Patterns

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

"We observe, interestingly, two kinds of alpha. The first achieves dominance solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't remain indefinitely. The second type succeeds by utilizing strategy, like a younger individual will merely oppose a superior one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And research shows, they remain far more extended periods," she explained.

Group Dynamics

The famous researcher also examined the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about combative conduct displayed by groups of humans and chimpanzees when faced with something they considered dangerous, despite the fact that no risk really was present.

"Chimpanzees see a stranger from a nearby tribe, and they become highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they reach out and touch another, and they display these faces of rage and terror, and it catches, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that one member has had, and the entire group grows combative," she described.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. Each member wishes to become and join in and grow hostile. They're defending their domain or fighting for dominance."

Similar Human Behavior

When asked if she thought similar behaviors applied to humans, Goodall answered: "Probably, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are good."

"My biggest hope is raising the upcoming generation of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, originally from London prior to the beginning of the Second World War, equated the fight against the darkness of present day politics to England opposing German forces, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you avoid having periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and state, 'Alright, I refuse to let them win'," she stated.

"It resembles Churchill in the war, his famous speech, we will oppose them on the beaches, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of damaged containers because that's all we've bloody well got'."

Closing Thoughts

In her last message, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those resisting political oppression and the environmental crisis.

"In current times, when Earth is dark, there still is possibility. Don't lose hope. Should optimism fade, you turn into unresponsive and remain inactive," she counseled.

"And if you desire to save the existing splendor on our planet – should you desire to preserve Earth for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, later generations – then contemplate the choices you implement each day. Because, expanded countless, multiple occasions, modest choices will make for great change."
