Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Launch Trump and Musk on Non-Return Space Mission
After spending decades researching chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview recorded shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for addressing specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: sending them on a non-return journey into outer space.
Posthumous Film Discloses Honest Views
This extraordinary insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was filmed in March and maintained secret until after her recently announced demise at 91 years old.
"I've encountered persons I'm not fond of, and I would like to place them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the world he's certain he'll find," remarked Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.
Specific Individuals Mentioned
When questioned whether the tech billionaire, known for his questionable behavior and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall replied positively.
"Oh, absolutely. He could serve as the leader. Envision the people I would place on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's real supporters," she declared.
"Furthermore I would add the Russian president among them, and I would put China's leader. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his political allies. Send them all on that spaceship and send them off."
Previous Criticism
This was not the initial instance that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about the political figure specifically.
In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he showed "the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee demonstrates when battling for supremacy with a rival. They posture, they parade, they project themselves as really more large and aggressive than they may actually be in order to intimidate their opponents."
Leadership Styles
During her final interview, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of dominant individuals.
"We see, remarkably, two kinds of alpha. One does it through pure aggression, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't endure for extended periods. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a superior one if his companion, typically a relative, is supporting him. And research shows, they endure significantly longer," she detailed.
Collective Behavior
The celebrated primatologist also studied the "social dimension" of actions, and what her detailed observations had taught her about hostile actions displayed by people and chimpanzees when faced with something they perceived as threatening, even if no threat actually existed.
"Chimpanzees observe an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they become all excited, and their hair erect, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they display these faces of rage and terror, and it catches, and the remaining members catch that feeling that one member has had, and they all become hostile," she described.
"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Certain displays that become hostile, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to participate and engage and turn violent. They're protecting their territory or competing for control."
Similar Human Behavior
When asked if she believed comparable patterns were present in people, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I strongly feel that most people are decent."
"My primary aspiration is nurturing the upcoming generation of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But do we have time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Comparison
Goodall, originally from London five years before the beginning of the Second World War, likened the struggle against the darkness of contemporary politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by the prime minister.
"However, this isn't to say you won't experience periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'Well, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she stated.
"It resembles Churchill during the conflict, his famous speech, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we will resist them through the avenues and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of damaged containers since that's everything we actually possess'."
Final Message
In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided inspiring thoughts for those combating governmental suppression and the environmental crisis.
"In current times, when the planet is challenging, there still is optimism. Don't lose hope. Should optimism fade, you grow unresponsive and do nothing," she counseled.
"Should you wish to preserve the existing splendor across the globe – when you wish to save the planet for the future generations, your descendants, their grandchildren – then contemplate the decisions you make daily. Because, expanded countless, a billion times, modest choices will create great change."
