Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Launch Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Trip to Space
After dedicating years researching chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of dominant males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her death, the famous primatologist shared her unconventional solution for dealing with certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar characteristics: launching them on a permanent journey into space.
Final Documentary Discloses Honest Views
This notable insight into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and preserved secret until after her latest demise at nine decades of life.
"There are individuals I don't like, and I wish to place them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the planet he's certain he'll locate," commented Goodall during her conversation with the interviewer.
Particular Personalities Targeted
When asked whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his controversial gestures and political alliances, would be among them, Goodall responded positively.
"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the host. Picture the people I would place on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.
"And then I would put Vladimir Putin among them, and I would include China's President Xi. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister on that journey and his far-right government. Place them all on that spacecraft and launch them."
Past Observations
This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the former president specifically.
In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he exhibited "comparable kind of actions as an alpha chimp exhibits when battling for supremacy with a rival. They're upright, they swagger, they project themselves as really more large and aggressive than they really are in order to frighten their opponents."
Leadership Styles
During her posthumous documentary, Goodall further explained her comprehension of alpha personalities.
"We observe, remarkably, two kinds of dominant individual. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't remain indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will just confront a more dominant one if his ally, typically a relative, is alongside him. And you know, they endure far more extended periods," she explained.
Group Dynamics
The renowned scientist also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about aggressive behaviors shown by human communities and apes when encountering something they considered hostile, although no risk truly existed.
"Chimpanzees see a stranger from an adjacent group, and they get highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they reach out and touch another, and they show visages of hostility and apprehension, and it spreads, and the rest catch that feeling that this one male has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she detailed.
"It transmits easily," she continued. "Certain displays that grow violent, it permeates the group. Each member wishes to become and join in and become aggressive. They're protecting their territory or battling for supremacy."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she thought comparable behaviors were present in humans, Goodall replied: "Probably, in certain situations. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are good."
"My primary aspiration is raising future generations of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? It's unclear. It's a really grim time."
Historical Context
Goodall, originally from London prior to the start of the World War II, equated the fight against the challenges of contemporary politics to Britain standing up Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by Winston Churchill.
"That doesn't mean you avoid having times of despair, but eventually you emerge and say, 'Alright, I'm not going to let them win'," she remarked.
"It resembles the leader throughout the battle, his iconic words, we'll fight them along the shores, we will resist them along the roads and the cities, then he turned aside to a companion and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them using the fragments of broken bottles because that's all we actually possess'."
Parting Words
In her final address, Goodall offered motivational statements for those resisting political oppression and the climate emergency.
"Even today, when Earth is difficult, there remains optimism. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you turn into unresponsive and take no action," she advised.
"Whenever you want to preserve the existing splendor across the globe – should you desire to protect our world for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the actions you take daily. Because, expanded a million, multiple occasions, modest choices will generate great change."
