Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Space Mission

After dedicating years observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of dominant males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist shared her unconventional solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as showing similar qualities: transporting them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Legacy Interview Discloses Candid Thoughts

This extraordinary perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Final Words", which was recorded in March and preserved confidential until after her recently announced demise at 91 years old.

"I've encountered individuals I'm not fond of, and I wish to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the planet he's convinced he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her conversation with Brad Falchuk.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When asked whether Elon Musk, famous for his controversial gestures and connections, would be included, Goodall responded affirmatively.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the leader. You can imagine the people I would place on that vessel. Together with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.

"And then I would put the Russian president in there, and I would put China's President Xi. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister in there and his far-right government. Put them all on that spacecraft and send them off."

Earlier Comments

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had shared negative views about Donald Trump in particular.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he showed "comparable kind of behavior as a dominant primate will show when he's competing for dominance with an opponent. They're upright, they parade, they project themselves as significantly bigger and hostile than they may actually be in order to daunt their rivals."

Dominance Patterns

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

"We get, notably, two kinds of dominant individual. One does it through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't last very long. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like a younger individual will merely oppose a more dominant one if his companion, typically a relative, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they remain far more extended periods," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also examined the "politicization" of actions, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about aggressive behaviors shown by people and chimpanzees when confronted with something they perceived as dangerous, despite the fact that no danger truly existed.

"Chimpanzees encounter a stranger from a neighboring community, and they grow all excited, and their hair erect, and they extend and contact each other, and they show expressions of anger and fear, and it catches, and the others adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she explained.

"It's contagious," she continued. "Various exhibitions that become hostile, it spreads among them. Each member wishes to get involved and turn violent. They're protecting their territory or battling for dominance."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she thought similar behaviors applied to people, Goodall answered: "Likely, on occasion. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are ethical."

"My biggest hope is educating this new generation of caring individuals, roots and shoots. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, a London native prior to the start of the the global conflict, equated the struggle against the darkness of contemporary politics to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" shown by Winston Churchill.

"This doesn't imply you don't have moments of depression, but then you come out and state, 'Alright, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she commented.

"It resembles Churchill throughout the battle, his iconic words, we shall combat them along the shores, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of broken bottles since that's everything we actually possess'."

Final Message

In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those combating authoritarian control and the climate emergency.

"At present, when the planet is difficult, there still is hope. Don't lose hope. Should optimism fade, you grow apathetic and do nothing," she counseled.

"Should you want to preserve the remaining beauty on our planet – if you want to preserve Earth for coming generations, your grandchildren, later generations – then think about the actions you implement daily. Since, replicated numerous, multiple occasions, modest choices will create significant transformation."
