Jane Goodall Revealed Aspiration to Launch Trump and Musk on Non-Return Trip to Space
After devoting her life studying chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist revealed her unique solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: transporting them on a non-return journey into space.
Final Documentary Unveils Honest Views
This remarkable perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and preserved confidential until after her recently announced passing at 91 years old.
"There are persons I dislike, and I want to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the planet he's sure he'll find," commented Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.
Named Figures Targeted
When inquired whether the tech billionaire, known for his disputed actions and connections, would be among them, Goodall responded positively.
"Yes, definitely. He would be the leader. Envision who I'd put on that vessel. Along with Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"Furthermore I would include Vladimir Putin in there, and I would place China's President Xi. Without question I would add the Israeli leader in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that vessel and dispatch them."
Past Observations
This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump in particular.
In a 2022 interview, she had remarked that he showed "the same sort of behavior as a dominant primate exhibits when vying for dominance with another. They're upright, they strut, they present themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they truly are in order to frighten their competitors."
Dominance Patterns
During her posthumous documentary, Goodall further explained her analysis of alpha personalities.
"We get, interestingly, two categories of alpha. The first achieves dominance solely through combat, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't remain very long. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like a young male will just confront a superior one if his ally, often his brother, is alongside him. And research shows, they remain significantly longer," she detailed.
Social Interactions
The celebrated primatologist also examined the "politicization" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about aggressive behaviors shown by human communities and apes when confronted with something they considered hostile, although no threat truly existed.
"Chimps observe an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they grow all excited, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and touch another, and they've got these faces of anger and fear, and it catches, and the rest adopt that emotion that one member has had, and they all become combative," she explained.
"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. Each member wishes to participate and engage and turn violent. They're protecting their area or fighting for supremacy."
Human Parallels
When inquired if she thought the same patterns occurred in people, Goodall answered: "Likely, in certain situations. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are good."
"My main objective is nurturing future generations of caring individuals, roots and shoots. But do we have time? It's unclear. These are difficult times."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, originally from London five years before the beginning of the the global conflict, equated the battle with the difficulties of current political landscape to England opposing German forces, and the "determined resistance" displayed by Winston Churchill.
"This doesn't imply you avoid having periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'Well, I refuse to let them win'," she commented.
"It's similar to the Prime Minister in the war, his famous speech, we will oppose them on the beaches, we'll fight them in the streets and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a friend and was heard to say, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of shattered glass because that's all we actually possess'."
Final Message
In her final address, Goodall offered words of encouragement for those resisting political oppression and the environmental crisis.
"Even today, when Earth is dark, there continues to be hope. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you become unresponsive and do nothing," she advised.
"And if you wish to protect what is still beautiful in this world – should you desire to protect our world for coming generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the choices you take each day. Since, multiplied countless, a billion times, modest choices will generate significant transformation."
