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

After devoting her life studying chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of alpha males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar characteristics: transporting them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.

Posthumous Film Unveils Frank Opinions

This remarkable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was captured in March and preserved secret until after her latest passing at nine decades of life.

"There are persons I don't like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the world he's certain he'll find," remarked Goodall during her discussion with Brad Falchuk.

Specific Individuals Targeted

When inquired whether Elon Musk, known for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be included, Goodall responded affirmatively.

"Oh, absolutely. He would be the leader. Envision the people I would place on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.

"Furthermore I would put Russia's leader among them, and I would place Xi Jinping. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his political allies. Put them all on that vessel and launch them."

Past Observations

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about Donald Trump specifically.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he showed "the same sort of behavior as an alpha chimp will show when battling for dominance with a rival. They posture, they swagger, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and hostile than they may actually be in order to frighten their opponents."

Alpha Behavior

During her final interview, Goodall elaborated on her analysis of alpha personalities.

"We observe, notably, two types of dominant individual. One does it all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't last indefinitely. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a young male will merely oppose a superior one if his friend, typically a relative, is alongside him. And research shows, they remain significantly longer," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "political aspect" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about hostile actions exhibited by human communities and chimpanzees when confronted with something they considered threatening, even if no threat truly existed.

"Primates encounter a stranger from an adjacent group, and they become all excited, and their fur bristles, and they extend and touch another, and they've got these faces of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the others catch that feeling that one member has had, and everyone turns aggressive," she explained.

"It's contagious," she noted. "Various exhibitions that become hostile, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to become and join in and turn violent. They're protecting their domain or fighting for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she considered the same behaviors were present in human beings, Goodall responded: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I firmly think that most people are good."

"My biggest hope is raising future generations of compassionate citizens, foundations and growth. But do we have time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, originally from London shortly before the beginning of the Second World War, compared the struggle against the challenges of current political landscape to Britain standing up German forces, and the "determined resistance" displayed by the prime minister.

"This doesn't imply you avoid having moments of depression, but eventually you emerge and state, 'Well, I won't allow to allow their success'," she stated.

"It's similar to the leader throughout the battle, his famous speech, we shall combat them along the shores, we'll fight them through the avenues and the cities, subsequently he remarked to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of shattered glass since that's everything we actually possess'."

Closing Thoughts

In her final address, Goodall provided inspiring thoughts for those combating authoritarian control and the ecological disaster.

"Even today, when the planet is dark, there still is possibility. Don't lose hope. If you lose hope, you become indifferent and take no action," she advised.

"Should you desire to save the remaining beauty in this world – should you desire to preserve Earth for coming generations, future family, their offspring – then consider the choices you implement daily. As, multiplied numerous, innumerable instances, modest choices will create substantial improvement."
