Jane Goodall Shared Aspiration to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on One-Way Trip to Space
After spending decades researching chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the aggressive tendencies of leading males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unusual solution for handling specific people she viewed as showing similar characteristics: launching them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.
Legacy Interview Discloses Candid Thoughts
This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and maintained secret until after her recent death at nine decades of life.
"There are people I don't like, and I want to put them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the planet he's certain he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.
Particular Personalities Identified
When questioned whether Elon Musk, recognized for his disputed actions and connections, would be part of this group, Goodall answered affirmatively.
"Yes, definitely. He'd be the host. Envision who I'd put on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's real supporters," she declared.
"Furthermore I would add Russia's leader in there, and I would put China's leader. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his far-right government. Send them all on that vessel and dispatch them."
Earlier Comments
This wasn't the first time that Goodall, an advocate of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about the political figure especially.
In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he exhibited "similar type of behavior as an alpha chimp demonstrates when vying for supremacy with another. They posture, they parade, they project themselves as much larger and combative than they may actually be in order to intimidate their opponents."
Leadership Styles
During her final interview, Goodall further explained her analysis of dominant individuals.
"We see, interestingly, two categories of leader. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't remain very long. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a young male will only challenge a more dominant one if his companion, often his brother, is with him. And research shows, they endure significantly longer," she clarified.
Social Interactions
The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "political aspect" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about combative conduct displayed by human communities and apes when encountering something they perceived as threatening, although no threat actually existed.
"Chimps observe an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they get all excited, and the hair stands out, and they extend and touch another, and they show these faces of hostility and apprehension, and it spreads, and the rest adopt that emotion that a single individual has had, and everyone turns hostile," she described.
"It transmits easily," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. Everyone desires to get involved and turn violent. They're guarding their domain or fighting for dominance."
Human Parallels
When inquired if she believed comparable behaviors occurred in people, Goodall responded: "Likely, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are ethical."
"My main objective is raising future generations of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, originally from London prior to the beginning of the the global conflict, compared the battle with the darkness of present day politics to England opposing the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by the prime minister.
"This doesn't imply you avoid having periods of sadness, but then you come out and say, 'Alright, I won't allow to allow their success'," she commented.
"It resembles the leader throughout the battle, his iconic words, we will oppose them on the beaches, we shall battle them in the streets and the cities, subsequently he remarked to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them with the remnants of broken bottles since that's everything we actually possess'."
Parting Words
In her last message, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those resisting governmental suppression and the climate emergency.
"At present, when Earth is dark, there still is possibility. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you grow indifferent and take no action," she recommended.
"Should you desire to protect what is still beautiful on our planet – if you want to preserve Earth for coming generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then contemplate the actions you make daily. Since, replicated a million, a billion times, modest choices will generate great change."
