Jane Goodall Revealed Aspiration to Transport Trump and Musk on Non-Return Space Mission

After spending decades observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of alpha males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for dealing with certain individuals she viewed as showing similar qualities: sending them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.

Legacy Interview Reveals Candid Thoughts

This extraordinary insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and maintained secret until after her recent demise at the age of 91.

"There are individuals I don't like, and I want to send them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the world he's sure he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her discussion with Brad Falchuk.

Named Figures Identified

When questioned whether Elon Musk, known for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be among them, Goodall responded positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the organizer. Envision whom I would include on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"And then I would include Russia's leader in there, and I would place Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu on that journey and his far-right government. Place them all on that spacecraft and send them off."

Previous Criticism

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about the political figure in particular.

In a previous discussion, she had observed that he showed "similar type of behavior as a dominant primate exhibits when he's competing for leadership with a rival. They stand tall, they swagger, they project themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their rivals."

Alpha Behavior

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her comprehension of dominant individuals.

"We get, interestingly, two kinds of dominant individual. One does it all by aggression, and due to their strength and they combat, they don't remain indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like a younger individual will just confront a superior one if his ally, typically a relative, is alongside him. And you know, they remain much, much longer," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The renowned scientist also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about hostile actions shown by groups of humans and apes when encountering something they viewed as threatening, although no risk actually existed.

"Chimpanzees encounter an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they become highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and contact each other, and they show these faces of anger and fear, and it catches, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and they all become combative," she detailed.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it sweeps through them. They all want to participate and engage and turn violent. They're protecting their territory or battling for control."

Human Parallels

When questioned if she believed the same patterns applied to humans, Goodall replied: "Likely, sometimes yes. But I truly believe that most people are ethical."

"My biggest hope is raising future generations of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, a London native five years before the beginning of the the global conflict, likened the fight against the challenges of current political landscape to England opposing German forces, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you don't have periods of sadness, but then you come out and declare, 'OK, I refuse to allow their success'," she remarked.

"It resembles the leader throughout the battle, his renowned address, we shall combat them at the coastlines, we will resist them in the streets and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to a companion and was heard to say, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of shattered glass as that's the only thing we've bloody well got'."

Final Message

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those resisting authoritarian control and the ecological disaster.

"At present, when the planet is dark, there remains hope. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you turn into unresponsive and take no action," she counseled.

"And if you wish to protect what is still beautiful on our planet – when you wish to save the planet 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 great change."
