Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Trip to Space

After dedicating years studying chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unique solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: launching them on a permanent journey into space.

Posthumous Film Discloses Candid Thoughts

This remarkable perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was filmed in March and kept secret until after her latest death at the age of 91.

"I've encountered people I dislike, and I would like to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the celestial body he's convinced he'll find," remarked Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.

Specific Individuals Mentioned

When asked whether Elon Musk, recognized for his controversial gestures and political alliances, would be part of this group, Goodall responded with certainty.

"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the organizer. Envision who I'd put on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"Additionally I would put Vladimir Putin in there, and I would include China's leader. Without question I would add Benjamin Netanyahu on that journey and his far-right government. Place them all on that vessel and launch them."

Earlier Comments

This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump specifically.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he displayed "the same sort of behavior as a dominant primate demonstrates when he's competing for supremacy with an opponent. They're upright, they swagger, they project themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their rivals."

Leadership Styles

During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of alpha personalities.

"We observe, notably, two kinds of alpha. The first achieves dominance solely through combat, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't endure very long. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will just confront a superior one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And research shows, they endure far more extended periods," she detailed.

Collective Behavior

The celebrated primatologist also examined the "politicization" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about hostile actions displayed by people and chimpanzees when faced with something they considered threatening, even if no risk truly existed.

"Chimpanzees see an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they become highly agitated, and their fur bristles, and they extend and contact each other, and they've got visages of anger and fear, and it catches, and the rest absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and everyone turns hostile," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Various exhibitions that become hostile, it sweeps through them. They all want to get involved and turn violent. They're guarding their area or battling for dominance."

Human Parallels

When asked if she considered comparable dynamics applied to human beings, Goodall responded: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I truly believe that the majority of individuals are decent."

"My biggest hope is nurturing future generations of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? It's unclear. These are difficult times."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, a London native prior to the beginning of the the global conflict, equated the struggle against the darkness of present day politics to the UK resisting German forces, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you don't have times of despair, but then you come out and declare, 'OK, I refuse to permit their victory'," she remarked.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister in the war, his renowned address, we'll fight them along the shores, we shall battle them through the avenues and the cities, then he turned aside to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of shattered glass because that's all we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those fighting against political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"Even today, when the planet is challenging, there still is possibility. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you turn into unresponsive and remain inactive," she recommended.

"And if you desire to preserve what is still beautiful in this world – if you want to protect our world for coming generations, future family, their grandchildren – then consider the actions you implement each day. As, replicated numerous, a billion times, minor decisions will create great change."
