Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Aspiration to Send Trump and Musk on Single-Journey Cosmic Voyage
After spending decades observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the aggressive tendencies of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview recorded shortly before her passing, the famous primatologist shared her unusual solution for handling specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: sending them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.
Posthumous Film Discloses Candid Thoughts
This extraordinary insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Final Words", which was captured in March and preserved private until after her recent demise at 91 years old.
"There are individuals I don't like, and I want to put them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the planet he's convinced he'll find," remarked Goodall during her conversation with Brad Falchuk.
Named Figures Mentioned
When questioned whether the tech billionaire, known for his disputed actions and associations, would be included, Goodall answered affirmatively.
"Oh, absolutely. He could serve as the host. You can imagine the people I would place on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.
"Additionally I would put Russia's leader among them, and I would include Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put the Israeli leader among the passengers and his administration. Place them all on that vessel and send them off."
Earlier Comments
This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump specifically.
In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he displayed "similar type of conduct as a male chimpanzee exhibits when he's competing for dominance with another. They posture, they strut, they present themselves as much larger and aggressive than they really are in order to frighten their competitors."
Dominance Patterns
During her final interview, Goodall elaborated on her analysis of leadership types.
"We get, notably, two categories of leader. One does it solely through combat, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't endure very long. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a superior one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is with him. And as we've seen, they remain much, much longer," she detailed.
Collective Behavior
The famous researcher also examined the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had shown her about combative conduct shown by human communities and primates when confronted with something they viewed as threatening, even if no danger actually existed.
"Chimpanzees see an outsider from an adjacent group, and they grow very stimulated, and their hair erect, and they reach out and contact each other, and they've got these faces of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and everyone turns hostile," she explained.
"It's contagious," she continued. "Certain displays that grow violent, it permeates the group. They all want to become and join in and turn violent. They're defending their domain or fighting for dominance."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she believed the same behaviors occurred in humans, Goodall responded: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are decent."
"My primary aspiration is nurturing the upcoming generation of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, a London native prior to the commencement of the Second World War, likened the fight against the challenges of present day politics to England opposing German forces, and the "determined resistance" displayed by Winston Churchill.
"That doesn't mean you don't have periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and say, 'Alright, I'm not going to allow their success'," she stated.
"It's similar to Churchill throughout the battle, his famous speech, we'll fight them along the shores, we shall battle them through the avenues and urban areas, then he turned aside to a companion and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of shattered glass as that's the only thing we truly have'."
Final Message
In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered motivational statements for those fighting against governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.
"In current times, when the world is challenging, there remains optimism. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you become apathetic and remain inactive," she recommended.
"Whenever you wish to preserve what is still beautiful across the globe – when you wish to protect our world for the future generations, your descendants, their grandchildren – then consider the actions you make every day. Since, replicated numerous, a billion times, modest choices will make for substantial improvement."
