Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Transport Musk and Trump on One-Way Space Mission
After dedicating years studying chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the aggressive tendencies of dominant males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist shared her unusual solution for handling particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a permanent journey into outer space.
Legacy Interview Discloses Honest Views
This notable insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Final Words", which was captured in March and maintained confidential until after her recent demise at nine decades of life.
"I know persons I don't like, and I wish to put them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the planet he's convinced he'll find," remarked Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.
Particular Personalities Mentioned
When asked whether Elon Musk, recognized for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be included, Goodall answered with certainty.
"Yes, definitely. He'd be the host. Envision who I'd put on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she stated.
"Additionally I would add the Russian president among them, and I would include China's leader. Without question I would add the Israeli leader among the passengers and his political allies. Send them all on that spacecraft and send them off."
Earlier Comments
This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump in particular.
In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he displayed "comparable kind of behavior as an alpha chimp exhibits when battling for supremacy with another. They stand tall, they strut, they project themselves as really more large and combative than they really are in order to frighten their rivals."
Dominance Patterns
During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of alpha personalities.
"We get, remarkably, two types of alpha. One does it through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't endure very long. Another group achieves dominance by utilizing strategy, like a young male will just confront a superior one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is with him. And you know, they remain far more extended periods," she clarified.
Group Dynamics
The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had shown her about hostile actions exhibited by people and chimpanzees when confronted with something they considered hostile, even if no risk truly existed.
"Chimpanzees encounter an unfamiliar individual from an adjacent group, and they become highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they stretch and touch another, and they show these faces of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the rest adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and they all become combative," she explained.
"It transmits easily," she noted. "Some of these demonstrations that grow violent, it sweeps through them. They all want to become and join in and become aggressive. They're guarding their area or fighting for dominance."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she considered similar behaviors were present in humans, Goodall answered: "Probably, sometimes yes. But I truly believe that most people are decent."
"My primary aspiration is nurturing future generations of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."
Historical Comparison
Goodall, a London native shortly before the commencement of the World War II, compared the struggle against the challenges of present day politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.
"That doesn't mean you don't have times of despair, but then you come out and state, 'OK, I refuse to permit their victory'," she commented.
"It's like Churchill during the conflict, his iconic words, we shall combat them on the beaches, we shall battle them in the streets and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."
Parting Words
In her last message, Goodall provided inspiring thoughts for those resisting authoritarian control and the climate emergency.
"In current times, when the world is difficult, there remains optimism. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you grow apathetic and do nothing," she recommended.
"Whenever you desire to save the remaining beauty in this world – when you wish to protect our world for the future generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the actions you implement daily. As, replicated countless, innumerable instances, modest choices will make for great change."
