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

After devoting her life studying chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of dominant males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as showing similar characteristics: sending them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.

Posthumous Film Unveils Candid Thoughts

This remarkable insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and maintained secret until after her recent demise at nine decades of life.

"I've encountered persons I dislike, and I wish to put them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the planet he's convinced he'll find," commented Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.

Specific Individuals Identified

When asked whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his disputed actions and connections, would be among them, Goodall responded with certainty.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the organizer. Picture whom I would include on that vessel. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.

"Additionally I would put Vladimir Putin among them, and I would put China's President Xi. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister on that journey and his far-right government. Put them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Past Observations

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about Donald Trump in particular.

In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he showed "the same sort of behavior as an alpha chimp will show when battling for supremacy with another. They're upright, they strut, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they truly are in order to intimidate their competitors."

Leadership Styles

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her analysis of leadership types.

"We see, interestingly, two kinds of leader. One does it solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't last for extended periods. Another group achieves dominance by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a superior one if his companion, often his brother, is with him. And research shows, they endure much, much longer," she clarified.

Group Dynamics

The renowned scientist also analyzed the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had taught her about hostile actions displayed by human communities and chimpanzees when encountering something they viewed as dangerous, although no risk truly existed.

"Chimps observe an outsider from an adjacent group, and they become very stimulated, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they display expressions of rage and terror, and it catches, and the others catch that feeling that one member has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she described.

"It's contagious," she noted. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. They all want to become and join in and become aggressive. They're defending their area or competing for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When asked if she thought the same dynamics were present in humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, in certain situations. But I firmly think that most people are decent."

"My main objective is raising the upcoming generation of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, born in London shortly before the start of the World War II, likened the fight against the darkness of present day politics to Britain standing up Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you don't have periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and say, 'OK, I'm not going to allow their success'," she stated.

"It resembles the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his famous speech, we will oppose them along the shores, we will resist them along the roads and the cities, subsequently he remarked to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them using the fragments of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those fighting against political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"In current times, when the world is difficult, there continues to be optimism. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you turn into unresponsive and take no action," she counseled.

"And if you wish to protect the existing splendor in this world – when you wish to preserve Earth for coming generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the actions you take every day. Since, expanded countless, a billion times, minor decisions will make for great change."
