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

After spending decades studying chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of dominant males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for addressing specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: sending them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.

Final Documentary Discloses Honest Views

This remarkable perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and preserved private until after her recently announced death at 91 years old.

"There are persons I'm not fond of, and I would like to put them on a spacecraft and launch them to the world he's convinced he'll locate," commented Goodall during her discussion with Brad Falchuk.

Specific Individuals Identified

When inquired whether the tech billionaire, known for his questionable behavior and connections, would be included, Goodall answered affirmatively.

"Yes, definitely. He could serve as the host. You can imagine whom I would include on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.

"Additionally I would include the Russian president among them, and I would include China's President Xi. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister on that journey and his administration. Place them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Previous Criticism

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about the former president in particular.

In a previous discussion, she had noted that he showed "the same sort of behavior as an alpha chimp exhibits when vying for dominance with another. They stand tall, they swagger, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they truly are in order to daunt their opponents."

Dominance Patterns

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

"We observe, remarkably, two kinds of alpha. The first achieves dominance through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't last for extended periods. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a young male will merely oppose a more dominant one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And research shows, they endure far more extended periods," she explained.

Group Dynamics

The renowned scientist also analyzed the "politicization" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had shown her about hostile actions exhibited by people and primates when faced with something they considered hostile, even if no danger truly existed.

"Chimpanzees see an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they grow all excited, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and contact each other, and they've got expressions of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that one member has had, and everyone turns combative," she explained.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. They all want to participate and engage and become aggressive. They're protecting their domain or battling for supremacy."

Human Parallels

When inquired if she believed comparable patterns applied to people, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I truly believe that the majority of individuals are decent."

"My biggest hope is educating the upcoming generation of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? It's unclear. It's a really grim time."

Historical Context

Goodall, a London native shortly before the commencement of the the global conflict, compared the battle with the challenges of current political landscape to Britain standing up Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the British leader.

"This doesn't imply you don't have moments of depression, but then you come out and declare, 'Well, I refuse to allow their success'," she stated.

"It's similar to the leader in the war, his famous speech, we shall combat them on the beaches, we shall battle them along the roads and urban areas, then he turned aside to a friend and was heard to say, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of broken bottles because that's all we've bloody well got'."

Parting Words

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

"Even today, when Earth is dark, there remains optimism. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you grow indifferent and remain inactive," she advised.

"And if you desire to protect the remaining beauty in this world – when you wish to protect our world for subsequent eras, your descendants, later generations – then consider the choices you implement daily. Because, expanded numerous, multiple occasions, even small actions will make for great change."
