Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Launch Musk and Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space
After dedicating years observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the aggressive tendencies of leading males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her death, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as displaying similar traits: launching them on a permanent journey into space.
Final Documentary Unveils Frank Opinions
This notable perspective into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix production "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and preserved secret until after her recently announced passing at nine decades of life.
"There are individuals I dislike, and I wish to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and send them all off to the celestial body he's certain he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.
Named Figures Targeted
When questioned whether Elon Musk, recognized for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be included, Goodall answered with certainty.
"Yes, definitely. He would be the organizer. You can imagine whom I would include on that spacecraft. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.
"Additionally I would add the Russian president among them, and I would include China's leader. I would definitely include Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his political allies. Put them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."
Past Observations
This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about the former president especially.
In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he showed "the same sort of conduct as a male chimpanzee demonstrates when vying for leadership with another. They're upright, they strut, they present themselves as really more large and hostile than they really are in order to frighten their opponents."
Leadership Styles
During her final interview, Goodall further explained her analysis of alpha personalities.
"We get, interestingly, two categories of dominant individual. One does it solely through combat, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't last very long. Another group achieves dominance by utilizing strategy, like a young male will only challenge a higher ranking one if his friend, often his brother, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they remain far more extended periods," she explained.
Group Dynamics
The celebrated primatologist also studied the "political aspect" of actions, and what her comprehensive research had shown her about aggressive behaviors exhibited by groups of humans and primates when confronted with something they perceived as hostile, although no threat really was present.
"Primates observe an outsider from an adjacent group, and they grow all excited, and their fur bristles, and they extend and make physical contact, and they display visages of anger and fear, and it catches, and the others adopt that emotion that one member has had, and they all become aggressive," she described.
"It transmits easily," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. They all want to become and join in and grow hostile. They're protecting their domain or fighting for control."
Human Parallels
When asked if she believed comparable dynamics occurred in people, Goodall responded: "Likely, in certain situations. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are good."
"My biggest hope is educating future generations of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, born in London prior to the start of the Second World War, likened the battle with the difficulties of current political landscape to England opposing the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by Winston Churchill.
"This doesn't imply you avoid having moments of depression, but subsequently you recover and say, 'OK, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she remarked.
"It's similar to Churchill in the war, his renowned address, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."
Parting Words
In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered motivational statements for those combating authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.
"In current times, when Earth is difficult, there still is possibility. Maintain optimism. When faith diminishes, you become indifferent and take no action," she advised.
"And if you wish to protect the remaining beauty in this world – if you want to save the planet for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the actions you make each day. Since, multiplied countless, a billion times, modest choices will generate significant transformation."
