Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After dedicating years observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a freshly unveiled interview recorded shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist shared her unique solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: sending them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Final Documentary Discloses Frank Opinions

This notable perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was captured in March and kept secret until after her recent demise at the age of 91.

"There are individuals I don't like, and I would like to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the celestial body he's sure he'll locate," remarked Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Mentioned

When inquired whether Elon Musk, famous for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be among them, Goodall replied with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He could serve as the organizer. Picture who I'd put on that vessel. Together with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.

"And then I would add the Russian president in there, and I would place China's leader. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister on that journey and his far-right government. Send them all on that spaceship and send them off."

Previous Criticism

This was not the first time that Goodall, a supporter of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about the political figure especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had remarked that he exhibited "comparable kind of actions as an alpha chimp will show when vying for dominance with an opponent. They posture, they strut, they project themselves as much larger and hostile than they may actually be in order to daunt their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her final interview, Goodall further explained her comprehension of dominant individuals.

"We get, notably, two kinds of leader. One type succeeds solely through combat, and due to their strength and they fight, they don't endure indefinitely. Others do it by using their brains, like a younger individual will only challenge a more dominant one if his companion, typically a relative, is with him. And you know, they endure significantly longer," she explained.

Group Dynamics

The famous researcher also analyzed the "social dimension" of actions, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about hostile actions displayed by people and apes when confronted with something they viewed as dangerous, even if no risk actually existed.

"Primates observe an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they become very stimulated, and their hair erect, and they stretch and contact each other, and they've got expressions of rage and terror, and it catches, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that one member has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she described.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it spreads among them. They all want to get involved and become aggressive. They're protecting their area or battling for supremacy."

Comparable Human Reactions

When inquired if she thought the same behaviors were present in human beings, Goodall replied: "Probably, sometimes yes. But I strongly feel that most people are good."

"My main objective is nurturing future generations of compassionate citizens, foundations and growth. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Context

Goodall, originally from London prior to the beginning of the Second World War, likened the battle with the difficulties of contemporary politics to Britain standing up German forces, and the "unyielding attitude" exhibited by the prime minister.

"This doesn't imply you avoid having times of despair, but then you come out and state, 'Well, I'm not going to let them win'," she stated.

"It resembles the Prime Minister during the conflict, his famous speech, we'll fight them along the shores, we'll fight them along the roads and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a companion and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of damaged containers because that's all we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those combating political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"In current times, when the planet is dark, there still is hope. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you become indifferent and do nothing," she advised.

"And if you want to preserve what is still beautiful across the globe – when you wish to preserve Earth for the future generations, future family, later generations – then contemplate the choices you make every day. As, multiplied countless, a billion times, modest choices will make for great change."
