Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Launch Musk and Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After spending decades observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as showing similar traits: transporting them on a permanent journey into outer space.

Legacy Interview Unveils Honest Views

This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was filmed in March and kept confidential until after her recent demise at 91 years old.

"I've encountered persons I don't like, and I would like to put them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the planet he's sure he'll find," commented Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.

Named Figures Identified

When inquired whether the tech billionaire, famous for his questionable behavior and connections, would be included, Goodall responded affirmatively.

"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the organizer. Envision the people I would place on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she stated.

"Furthermore I would include the Russian president on board, and I would put Xi Jinping. Without question I would add the Israeli leader among the passengers and his far-right government. Send them all on that spacecraft and send them off."

Earlier Comments

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump in particular.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he showed "the same sort of conduct as a male chimpanzee will show when he's competing for leadership with an opponent. They stand tall, they swagger, they portray themselves as really more large and hostile than they really are in order to daunt their competitors."

Leadership Styles

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall expanded upon her understanding of alpha personalities.

"We get, interestingly, two categories of dominant individual. One does it all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't last for extended periods. The second type succeeds by utilizing strategy, like a young male will only challenge a higher ranking one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is with him. And as we've seen, they last far more extended periods," she clarified.

Group Dynamics

The famous researcher also analyzed the "politicization" of actions, and what her extensive studies had shown her about combative conduct shown by groups of humans and primates when confronted with something they viewed as threatening, even if no threat really was present.

"Primates encounter an outsider from an adjacent group, and they get all excited, and the hair stands out, and they extend and touch another, and they've got expressions of anger and fear, and it catches, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and the entire group grows combative," she detailed.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. Each member wishes to participate and engage and become aggressive. They're defending their territory or battling for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she thought similar dynamics occurred in people, Goodall answered: "Probably, in certain situations. But I truly believe that most people are decent."

"My primary aspiration is raising the upcoming generation of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London prior to the beginning of the the global conflict, equated the battle with the darkness of current political landscape to the UK resisting German forces, and the "determined resistance" shown by the British leader.

"That doesn't mean you don't have periods of sadness, but then you come out and say, 'Well, I refuse to allow their success'," she stated.

"It's similar to the leader during the conflict, his famous speech, we shall combat them on the beaches, we shall battle them through the avenues and urban areas, afterward he commented to an associate and was heard to say, 'and we shall combat them with the remnants of damaged containers as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided motivational statements for those combating political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"In current times, when the planet is difficult, there remains possibility. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you grow apathetic and take no action," she recommended.

"And if you desire to preserve the existing splendor across the globe – when you wish to protect our world for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, later generations – then consider the decisions you make every day. As, multiplied numerous, innumerable instances, modest choices will generate great change."
