Jane Goodall Expressed Wish to Launch Musk and Trump on Single-Journey Cosmic Voyage

After devoting her life observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the hostile behavior of alpha males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her passing, the famous primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: sending them on a permanent journey into outer space.

Final Documentary Discloses Candid Thoughts

This notable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and kept private until after her latest death at 91 years old.

"I know persons I'm not fond of, and I would like to send them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the celestial body he's convinced he'll find," stated Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Targeted

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

"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the leader. You can imagine whom I would include on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.

"And then I would put Russia's leader in there, and I would put Xi Jinping. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his political allies. Place them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."

Earlier Comments

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about the political figure in particular.

In a previous discussion, she had noted that he showed "similar type of actions as a dominant primate demonstrates when battling for supremacy with a rival. They're upright, they parade, they project themselves as much larger and hostile than they truly are in order to daunt their opponents."

Alpha Behavior

During her final interview, Goodall elaborated on her understanding of leadership types.

"We observe, interestingly, two types of alpha. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't remain very long. The second type succeeds by using their brains, like a younger individual will only challenge a higher ranking one if his companion, often his brother, is supporting him. And research shows, they endure far more extended periods," she clarified.

Collective Behavior

The renowned scientist also examined the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had revealed to her about combative conduct shown by people and chimpanzees when confronted with something they viewed as hostile, although no danger truly existed.

"Primates observe a stranger from a neighboring community, and they grow all excited, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and touch another, and they've got expressions of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the rest catch that feeling that a single individual has had, and everyone turns hostile," she described.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. Everyone desires to get involved and grow hostile. They're defending their area or battling for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When asked if she believed comparable dynamics applied to human beings, Goodall responded: "Probably, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are good."

"My primary aspiration is educating this new generation of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Context

Goodall, a London native five years before the beginning of the Second World War, likened the battle with the difficulties of contemporary politics to Britain standing up German forces, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.

"However, this isn't to say you avoid having periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and state, 'Alright, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she commented.

"It's similar to Churchill in the war, his famous speech, we will oppose them on the beaches, we will resist them along the roads and the cities, afterward he commented to an associate and was heard to say, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of broken bottles since that's everything we actually possess'."

Final Message

In her final address, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those resisting political oppression and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when Earth is challenging, there remains possibility. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you become apathetic and do nothing," she recommended.

"Should you wish to protect the existing splendor across the globe – when you wish to save the planet for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, later generations – then contemplate the actions you implement daily. Since, multiplied countless, multiple occasions, minor decisions will make for significant transformation."
