Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Space Mission

After spending decades researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a recently released interview documented shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist disclosed her unique solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as showing similar qualities: transporting them on a one-way journey into outer space.

Posthumous Film Reveals Honest Views

This notable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and preserved secret until after her recently announced demise at the age of 91.

"I've encountered persons I don't like, and I would like to place them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the celestial body he's sure he'll find," stated Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.

Named Figures Identified

When questioned whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his controversial gestures and connections, would be among them, Goodall responded positively.

"Oh, absolutely. He could serve as the leader. You can imagine who I'd put on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's dedicated followers," she stated.

"Additionally I would put Vladimir Putin in there, and I would put Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that spaceship and launch them."

Past Observations

This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, a supporter of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about the former president specifically.

In a previous discussion, she had observed that he showed "similar type of behavior as a dominant primate demonstrates when he's competing for supremacy with a rival. They stand tall, they parade, they present themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they really are in order to frighten their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

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

"We observe, remarkably, two kinds of alpha. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and due to their strength and they fight, they don't endure indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a younger individual will only challenge a more dominant one if his companion, typically a relative, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they remain significantly longer," she clarified.

Group Dynamics

The famous researcher also examined the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had taught her about hostile actions displayed by human communities and chimpanzees when encountering something they perceived as dangerous, even if no risk truly existed.

"Primates observe a stranger from an adjacent group, and they get highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they extend and touch another, and they display visages of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become aggressive," she described.

"It transmits easily," she continued. "Some of these demonstrations that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. They all want to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're defending their domain or competing for dominance."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she considered similar patterns applied to people, Goodall answered: "Likely, on occasion. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are ethical."

"My primary aspiration is educating the upcoming generation of caring individuals, roots and shoots. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. It's a really grim time."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, a London native shortly before the beginning of the World War II, compared the fight against the difficulties of contemporary politics to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" exhibited by the prime minister.

"However, this isn't to say you don't have times of despair, but then you come out and state, 'OK, I'm not going to let them win'," she remarked.

"It's like Churchill during the conflict, his renowned address, we shall combat them along the shores, we will resist them in the streets and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of shattered glass since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Parting Words

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared motivational statements for those combating political oppression and the environmental crisis.

"In current times, when the world is challenging, there continues to be hope. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you grow unresponsive and remain inactive," she counseled.

"Whenever you wish to save the remaining beauty across the globe – when you wish to preserve Earth for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their offspring – then contemplate the choices you make every day. Because, multiplied countless, a billion times, modest choices will create significant transformation."
