Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Trip to Space

After dedicating years observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of alpha males. In a newly published interview recorded shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unusual solution for dealing with certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar traits: sending them on a non-return journey into space.

Posthumous Film Unveils Honest Views

This notable viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was captured in March and maintained secret until after her recently announced passing at the age of 91.

"I know individuals I'm not fond of, and I wish to send them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the world he's convinced he'll find," remarked Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.

Named Figures Mentioned

When inquired whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his controversial gestures and connections, would be among them, Goodall replied with certainty.

"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the organizer. Picture whom I would include on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she declared.

"Furthermore I would include Vladimir Putin on board, and I would include Xi Jinping. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister in there and his administration. Put them all on that spaceship and launch them."

Earlier Comments

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he exhibited "the same sort of actions as a dominant primate exhibits when he's competing for supremacy with another. They posture, they strut, they portray themselves as really more large and combative than they may actually be in order to daunt their rivals."

Alpha Behavior

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall further explained her understanding of dominant individuals.

"We see, notably, two categories of leader. One does it all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't remain very long. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like a young male will merely oppose a superior one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And you know, they last far more extended periods," she detailed.

Group Dynamics

The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "politicization" of actions, and what her detailed observations had taught her about hostile actions exhibited by people and primates when encountering something they viewed as threatening, although no risk truly existed.

"Chimps encounter an unfamiliar individual from an adjacent group, and they get very stimulated, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and touch another, and they show expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it catches, and the others catch that feeling that a single individual has had, and they all become aggressive," she explained.

"It's contagious," she added. "Certain displays that grow violent, it permeates the group. They all want to get involved and turn violent. They're defending their area or competing for supremacy."

Comparable Human Reactions

When inquired if she considered comparable behaviors were present in people, Goodall replied: "Probably, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My main objective is educating this new generation of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. It's a really grim time."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, originally from London five years before the commencement of the the global conflict, compared the struggle against the darkness of contemporary politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"That doesn't mean you won't experience periods of sadness, but eventually you emerge and declare, 'OK, I refuse to let them win'," she stated.

"It's like the leader throughout the battle, his iconic words, we shall combat them along the shores, we will resist them in the streets and metropolitan centers, subsequently he remarked to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them with the remnants of damaged containers because that's all we've bloody well got'."

Parting Words

In her final address, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those combating political oppression and the climate emergency.

"Even today, when the planet is dark, there still is possibility. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you turn into apathetic and remain inactive," she recommended.

"And if you wish to preserve the existing splendor across the globe – should you desire to preserve Earth for subsequent eras, your descendants, their grandchildren – then contemplate the choices you take each day. As, replicated countless, multiple occasions, minor decisions will make for substantial improvement."
