Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Transport Musk and Trump on Single-Journey Trip to Space

After devoting her life observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of leading males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as showing similar characteristics: launching them on a non-return journey into space.

Legacy Interview Unveils Frank Opinions

This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was captured in March and preserved secret until after her recently announced death at nine decades of life.

"There are people I dislike, and I want to put them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the planet he's certain he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Particular Personalities Identified

When inquired whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his questionable behavior and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded affirmatively.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the organizer. You can imagine the people I would place on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.

"Additionally I would include Russia's leader on board, and I would include China's leader. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister on that journey and his administration. Put them all on that spaceship and launch them."

Past Observations

This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, a supporter of environmental causes, had shared negative views about the former president specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he exhibited "comparable kind of behavior as a dominant primate will show when battling for dominance with an opponent. They stand tall, they swagger, they portray themselves as really more large and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their competitors."

Leadership Styles

During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of alpha personalities.

"We get, notably, two categories of alpha. One type succeeds all by aggression, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't last very long. The second type succeeds by utilizing strategy, like a younger individual will only challenge a superior one if his companion, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And you know, they endure far more extended periods," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also analyzed the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had shown her about hostile actions exhibited by people and chimpanzees when confronted with something they considered hostile, despite the fact that no danger really was present.

"Chimps observe an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they grow highly agitated, and their fur bristles, and they extend and make physical contact, and they display these faces of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the remaining members catch that feeling that a single individual has had, and they all become aggressive," she detailed.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. They all want to participate and engage and turn violent. They're protecting their domain or fighting for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When asked if she thought comparable dynamics occurred in humans, Goodall responded: "Likely, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are good."

"My biggest hope is nurturing the upcoming generation of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But do we have time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, born in London prior to the commencement of the Second World War, compared the battle with the challenges of contemporary politics to England opposing Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by the British leader.

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

"It's like the Prime Minister in the war, his renowned address, we will oppose them on the beaches, we shall battle them in the streets and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to an associate and was heard to say, 'and we shall combat them with the remnants of broken bottles since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Parting Words

In her final address, Goodall provided motivational statements for those resisting authoritarian control and the climate emergency.

"In current times, when the world is challenging, there remains hope. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you turn into indifferent and remain inactive," she counseled.

"And if you wish to save what is still beautiful in this world – should you desire to save the planet for the future generations, future family, their offspring – then think about the choices you make each day. Because, expanded countless, multiple occasions, even small actions will create significant transformation."
