Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Revealed Aspiration to Send Trump and Musk on One-Way Space Mission
After dedicating years observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unique solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar traits: transporting them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.
Final Documentary Discloses Frank Opinions
This notable perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix production "Final Words", which was captured in March and kept private until after her latest passing at the age of 91.
"There are individuals I dislike, and I would like to send them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the planet he's certain he'll find," remarked Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.
Specific Individuals Mentioned
When asked whether Elon Musk, known for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be part of this group, Goodall replied affirmatively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the host. Picture who I'd put on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.
"Additionally I would add Russia's leader in there, and I would put China's President Xi. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu on that journey and his far-right government. Put them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."
Previous Criticism
This wasn't the first time that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump specifically.
In a 2022 interview, she had remarked that he displayed "the same sort of actions as a dominant primate demonstrates when vying for supremacy with another. They stand tall, they strut, they portray themselves as much larger and combative than they really are in order to daunt their rivals."
Leadership Styles
During her posthumous documentary, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of dominant individuals.
"We observe, remarkably, two categories of leader. One does it solely through combat, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't endure very long. Another group achieves dominance by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will merely oppose a more dominant one if his ally, typically a relative, is supporting him. And you know, they last much, much longer," she explained.
Collective Behavior
The renowned scientist also studied the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had shown her about combative conduct shown by groups of humans and chimpanzees when confronted with something they considered dangerous, despite the fact that no risk actually existed.
"Primates observe an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they get all excited, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and touch another, and they display visages of rage and terror, and it catches, and the others absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and everyone turns combative," she detailed.
"It transmits easily," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that grow violent, it sweeps through them. Everyone desires to participate and engage and turn violent. They're protecting their domain or fighting for supremacy."
Similar Human Behavior
When questioned if she thought comparable behaviors applied to humans, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that most people are good."
"My biggest hope is raising this new generation of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But do we have time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Comparison
Goodall, originally from London shortly before the commencement of the the global conflict, equated the struggle against the darkness of present day politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.
"That doesn't mean you won't experience moments of depression, but subsequently you recover and state, 'Well, I'm not going to let them win'," she remarked.
"It's similar to the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his renowned address, we shall combat them at the coastlines, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of shattered glass as that's the only thing we've bloody well got'."
Closing Thoughts
In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered words of encouragement for those resisting authoritarian control and the climate emergency.
"At present, when the world is dark, there still is optimism. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you grow indifferent and do nothing," she advised.
"And if you wish to protect what is still beautiful across the globe – should you desire to preserve Earth for coming generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then think about the choices you take daily. Since, replicated a million, innumerable instances, minor decisions will create significant transformation."
