Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Wish to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Cosmic Voyage

After spending decades observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist shared her unusual solution for handling specific people she viewed as displaying similar traits: launching them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.

Final Documentary Reveals Candid Thoughts

This notable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was captured in March and maintained private until after her latest demise at nine decades of life.

"There are persons I don't like, and I wish to send them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the celestial body he's certain he'll find," stated Goodall during her conversation with the interviewer.

Specific Individuals Targeted

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

"Oh, absolutely. He would be the leader. Envision whom I would include on that vessel. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she announced.

"Furthermore I would put the Russian president among them, and I would include Xi Jinping. I would definitely include the Israeli leader in there and his political allies. Send them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."

Previous Criticism

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about the former president specifically.

In a previous discussion, she had observed that he showed "similar type of conduct as a male chimpanzee exhibits when he's competing for dominance with an opponent. They're upright, they strut, they present themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they may actually be in order to daunt their opponents."

Leadership Styles

During her final interview, Goodall further explained her comprehension of alpha personalities.

"We see, interestingly, two kinds of leader. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't endure very long. The second type succeeds by utilizing strategy, like a young male will just confront a higher ranking one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is with him. And as we've seen, they endure significantly longer," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The renowned scientist also examined the "politicization" of conduct, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about hostile actions exhibited by people and apes when confronted with something they perceived as dangerous, although no threat truly existed.

"Primates encounter an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they become very stimulated, and the hair stands out, and they extend and touch another, and they display these faces of anger and fear, and it catches, and the remaining members catch that feeling that this one male has had, and everyone turns aggressive," she described.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that become hostile, it permeates the group. Each member wishes to become and join in and become aggressive. They're guarding their area or battling for dominance."

Human Parallels

When inquired if she believed the same behaviors applied to humans, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are ethical."

"My main objective is educating the upcoming generation of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London shortly before the start of the the global conflict, likened the battle with the difficulties of contemporary politics to Britain standing up German forces, and the "determined resistance" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"This doesn't imply you avoid having periods of sadness, but then you come out and declare, 'Alright, I won't allow to let them win'," she remarked.

"It's like the leader throughout the battle, his renowned address, we'll fight them along the shores, we will resist them through the avenues and the cities, then he turned aside to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her final address, Goodall provided motivational statements for those fighting against political oppression and the climate emergency.

"At present, when the world is challenging, there remains possibility. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you grow indifferent and do nothing," she advised.

"And if you desire to preserve the existing splendor on our planet – if you want to protect our world for the future generations, your descendants, their offspring – then contemplate the decisions you take each day. Since, replicated countless, multiple occasions, minor decisions will create great change."
