Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Launch Elon Musk and Donald Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After devoting her life observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist shared her unconventional solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as showing similar traits: launching them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.

Final Documentary Reveals Candid Thoughts

This notable insight into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was filmed in March and kept secret until after her latest demise at the age of 91.

"I know people I don't like, and I wish to place them on a spacecraft and launch them to the planet he's convinced he'll locate," stated Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.

Specific Individuals Mentioned

When asked whether the SpaceX founder, known for his disputed actions and associations, would be included, Goodall responded with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He could serve as the host. Picture who I'd put on that vessel. In addition to Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.

"Furthermore I would put the Russian president among them, and I would include Xi Jinping. I would definitely include Benjamin Netanyahu on that journey and his political allies. Put them all on that vessel and dispatch them."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the political figure in particular.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he displayed "similar type of actions as an alpha chimp exhibits when vying for supremacy with a rival. They posture, they parade, they project themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they really are in order to intimidate their competitors."

Leadership Styles

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her understanding of leadership types.

"We get, remarkably, two types of alpha. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and due to their strength and they combat, they don't last indefinitely. The second type succeeds by using their brains, like a younger individual will just confront a more dominant one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And you know, they remain far more extended periods," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The celebrated primatologist also examined the "political aspect" of actions, and what her detailed observations had taught her about hostile actions exhibited by people and apes when faced with something they perceived as threatening, even if no danger really was present.

"Chimps encounter a stranger from an adjacent group, and they become highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they extend and touch another, and they display expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it catches, and the others catch that feeling that this one male has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she explained.

"It's contagious," she added. "Certain displays that grow violent, it sweeps through them. They all want to become and join in and become aggressive. They're defending their area or competing for control."

Human Parallels

When asked if she considered the same patterns applied to people, Goodall replied: "Probably, on occasion. But I strongly feel that most people are ethical."

"My biggest hope is nurturing future generations of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But is there sufficient time? It's unclear. These are difficult times."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, a London native shortly before the beginning of the the global conflict, compared the battle with the challenges of current political landscape to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by the prime minister.

"This doesn't imply you won't experience times of despair, but then you come out and state, 'Well, I'm not going to let them win'," she commented.

"It's like Churchill during the conflict, his iconic words, we'll fight them along the shores, we'll fight them along the roads and urban areas, then he turned aside to a friend and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them at the ends of broken bottles since that's everything we actually possess'."

Closing Thoughts

In her last message, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those combating governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.

"Even today, when Earth is dark, there continues to be hope. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you turn into unresponsive and do nothing," she counseled.

"Should you want to preserve what is still beautiful in this world – should you desire to preserve Earth for the future generations, your descendants, their grandchildren – then consider the decisions you implement daily. Because, multiplied numerous, a billion times, even small actions will make for substantial improvement."
