Primatologist Jane Goodall Revealed Aspiration to Launch Musk and Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After spending decades researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of alpha males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unique solution for handling specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a non-return journey into space.

Legacy Interview Reveals Honest Views

This notable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and preserved confidential until after her latest death at the age of 91.

"I know persons I don't like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and send them all off to the planet he's sure he'll locate," remarked Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When questioned whether the SpaceX founder, known for his questionable behavior and associations, would be among them, Goodall replied positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the organizer. Picture whom I would include on that vessel. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.

"Furthermore I would include Vladimir Putin among them, and I would put China's President Xi. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his political allies. Send them all on that vessel and dispatch them."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump in particular.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he exhibited "the same sort of conduct as an alpha chimp demonstrates when vying for leadership with a rival. They posture, they swagger, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they truly are in order to intimidate their rivals."

Dominance Patterns

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

"We get, remarkably, two kinds of dominant individual. One does it through pure aggression, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't endure indefinitely. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will just confront a superior one if his ally, typically a relative, is with him. And you know, they last much, much longer," she clarified.

Group Dynamics

The famous researcher also examined the "political aspect" of actions, and what her detailed observations had revealed to her about aggressive behaviors exhibited by human communities and apes when encountering something they considered threatening, although no danger really was present.

"Chimpanzees see a stranger from a neighboring community, and they get highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they show visages of rage and terror, and it catches, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she described.

"It transmits easily," she continued. "Some of these demonstrations that grow violent, it permeates the group. They all want to become and join in and become aggressive. They're defending their domain or competing for supremacy."

Similar Human Behavior

When asked if she thought comparable dynamics occurred in people, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are ethical."

"My biggest hope is raising future generations of compassionate citizens, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? It's unclear. It's a really grim time."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, originally from London five years before the beginning of the World War II, equated the battle with the darkness of contemporary politics to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you don't have times of despair, but then you come out and say, 'OK, I'm not going to allow their success'," she remarked.

"It's like Churchill throughout the battle, his famous speech, we shall combat them along the shores, we shall battle them in the streets and metropolitan centers, subsequently he remarked to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them using the fragments of damaged containers as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her last message, Goodall offered words of encouragement for those combating political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"At present, when the planet is dark, there remains optimism. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you become unresponsive and remain inactive," she counseled.

"Whenever you want to protect what is still beautiful on our planet – if you want to save the planet for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their offspring – then contemplate the actions you implement every day. Because, replicated a million, multiple occasions, even small actions will create great change."
