Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space

After spending decades researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of alpha males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist shared her unusual solution for addressing specific people she viewed as displaying similar qualities: launching them on a one-way journey into outer space.

Legacy Interview Discloses Honest Views

This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and maintained confidential until after her recent death at the age of 91.

"There are people I'm not fond of, and I wish to place them on a SpaceX vessel and dispatch them to the world he's sure he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Named Figures Mentioned

When inquired whether the tech billionaire, known for his questionable behavior and connections, would be part of this group, Goodall responded affirmatively.

"Yes, definitely. He could serve as the organizer. Picture the people I would place on that vessel. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she declared.

"Furthermore I would put the Russian president in there, and I would include China's President Xi. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister on that journey and his political allies. Put them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."

Earlier Comments

This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the former president in particular.

In a previous discussion, she had observed that he showed "the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee demonstrates when battling for leadership with another. They stand tall, they parade, they project themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they may actually be in order to daunt their opponents."

Alpha Behavior

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

"We get, remarkably, two categories of leader. One does it through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't remain very long. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a higher ranking one if his companion, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And research shows, they last significantly longer," she detailed.

Group Dynamics

The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of actions, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about combative conduct displayed by people and primates when faced with something they considered dangerous, although no risk actually existed.

"Chimps encounter a stranger from an adjacent group, and they grow all excited, and their hair erect, and they extend and contact each other, and they display expressions of rage and terror, and it spreads, and the others adopt that emotion that a single individual has had, and the entire group grows hostile," she explained.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that become hostile, it permeates the group. They all want to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're protecting their territory or battling for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When inquired if she believed comparable patterns applied to human beings, Goodall responded: "Probably, on occasion. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My main objective is nurturing this new generation of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, originally from London five years before the commencement of the World War II, compared the struggle against the challenges of current political landscape to England opposing Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.

"This doesn't imply you won't experience times of despair, but eventually you emerge and state, 'Well, I refuse to allow their success'," she commented.

"It's similar to the leader throughout the battle, his iconic words, we'll fight them along the shores, we shall battle them in the streets and the cities, then he turned aside to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of shattered glass because that's all we actually possess'."

Final Message

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those combating governmental suppression and the climate emergency.

"In current times, when the planet is challenging, there still is optimism. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you turn into unresponsive and do nothing," she counseled.

"And if you wish to protect what is still beautiful in this world – should you desire to save the planet for the future generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then think about the decisions you make every day. Because, replicated numerous, innumerable instances, even small actions will generate significant transformation."
