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

After spending decades researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the aggressive tendencies of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for handling specific people she viewed as showing similar characteristics: transporting them on a one-way journey into outer space.

Legacy Interview Reveals Candid Thoughts

This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was recorded in March and kept private until after her recently announced death at the age of 91.

"There are persons I'm not fond of, and I want to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the celestial body he's sure he'll find," remarked Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.

Named Figures Mentioned

When asked whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his controversial gestures and associations, would be included, Goodall replied affirmatively.

"Oh, absolutely. He would be the host. Picture whom I would include on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she declared.

"Additionally I would put the Russian president on board, and I would place China's President Xi. Without question I would add Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his administration. Put them all on that spaceship and launch them."

Past Observations

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about the former president especially.

In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he showed "comparable kind of behavior as a male chimpanzee exhibits when battling for dominance with a rival. They're upright, they swagger, they present themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they may actually be in order to daunt their rivals."

Leadership Styles

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her analysis of dominant individuals.

"We observe, interestingly, two categories of leader. One does it all by aggression, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't last indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a young male will merely oppose a higher ranking one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And research shows, they last significantly longer," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of conduct, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about combative conduct shown by groups of humans and chimpanzees when faced with something they viewed as threatening, despite the fact that no danger truly existed.

"Chimps see a stranger from a nearby tribe, and they get all excited, and their fur bristles, and they extend and contact each other, and they've got these faces of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that this one male has had, and everyone turns aggressive," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it permeates the group. They all want to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're protecting their area or battling for supremacy."

Human Parallels

When questioned if she believed similar patterns were present in humans, Goodall responded: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that most people are good."

"My main objective is raising this new generation of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."

Historical Context

Goodall, born in London prior to the start of the World War II, equated the fight against the darkness of present day politics to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" shown by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you won't experience periods of sadness, but eventually you emerge and declare, 'Alright, I'm not going to allow their success'," she commented.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his renowned address, we'll fight them on the beaches, we'll fight them in the streets and metropolitan centers, subsequently he remarked to a companion and was heard to say, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of damaged containers because that's all we truly have'."

Final Message

In her last message, Goodall provided motivational statements for those fighting against authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.

"At present, when the world is dark, there remains optimism. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you turn into apathetic and do nothing," she recommended.

"Whenever you desire to preserve what is still beautiful across the globe – when you wish to preserve Earth for the future generations, future family, their offspring – then consider the actions you implement daily. Since, expanded numerous, innumerable instances, modest choices will create great change."
