Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After spending decades researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her death, the famous primatologist revealed her unusual solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as showing similar characteristics: launching them on a permanent journey into space.

Legacy Interview Discloses Honest Views

This notable insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was filmed in March and kept private until after her latest passing at 91 years old.

"I've encountered persons I don't like, and I wish to send them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the world he's sure he'll find," remarked Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.

Particular Personalities Mentioned

When inquired whether the SpaceX founder, known for his questionable behavior and associations, would be included, Goodall answered with certainty.

"Yes, definitely. He would be the leader. You can imagine who I'd put on that vessel. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.

"And then I would add the Russian president on board, and I would place China's leader. I would definitely include Benjamin Netanyahu among the passengers and his administration. Put them all on that spacecraft and launch them."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the first time that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about the former president specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he showed "comparable kind of actions as a male chimpanzee will show when vying for supremacy with an opponent. They're upright, they parade, they present themselves as much larger and combative than they may actually be in order to daunt their rivals."

Leadership Styles

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of leadership types.

"We see, remarkably, two kinds of leader. One does it all by aggression, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't remain very long. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will just confront a more dominant one if his companion, often his brother, is with him. And you know, they endure significantly longer," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had shown her about aggressive behaviors exhibited by people and apes when faced with something they perceived as hostile, despite the fact that no threat really was present.

"Chimpanzees see a stranger from an adjacent group, and they grow all excited, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and contact each other, and they show these faces of rage and terror, and it catches, and the others absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become hostile," she explained.

"It's contagious," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that become hostile, it spreads among them. They all want to participate and engage and turn violent. They're defending their area or competing for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When questioned if she considered similar patterns applied to people, Goodall responded: "Likely, sometimes yes. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My biggest hope is raising this new generation of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But do we have time? It's unclear. It's a really grim time."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London five years before the beginning of the the global conflict, compared the fight against the difficulties of present day politics to England opposing the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by the prime minister.

"This doesn't imply you avoid having times of despair, but eventually you emerge and declare, 'Alright, I'm not going to allow their success'," she commented.

"It resembles Churchill during the conflict, his iconic words, we will oppose them on the beaches, we will resist them through the avenues and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to a companion and was heard to say, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those fighting against governmental suppression and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when Earth is difficult, there remains optimism. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you turn into apathetic and do nothing," she counseled.

"And if you desire to preserve the remaining beauty on our planet – when you wish to preserve Earth for coming generations, your descendants, their grandchildren – then think about the decisions you take each day. As, multiplied numerous, a billion times, modest choices will create significant transformation."
