Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space
After devoting her life researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of alpha males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist revealed her unusual solution for handling specific people she viewed as displaying similar characteristics: sending them on a non-return journey into outer space.
Final Documentary Unveils Candid Thoughts
This extraordinary insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Final Words", which was filmed in March and maintained secret until after her latest death at nine decades of life.
"There are people I don't like, and I want to place them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the planet he's sure he'll locate," remarked Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.
Named Figures Identified
When asked whether Elon Musk, known for his disputed actions and connections, would be part of this group, Goodall answered positively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the organizer. Envision the people I would place on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.
"Additionally I would put Vladimir Putin on board, and I would put China's President Xi. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that vessel and dispatch them."
Previous Criticism
This was not the initial instance that Goodall, an advocate of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about the former president especially.
In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he exhibited "similar type of conduct as a male chimpanzee exhibits when vying for supremacy with a rival. They posture, they parade, they portray themselves as much larger and combative than they truly are in order to intimidate their competitors."
Leadership Styles
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her understanding of alpha personalities.
"We observe, notably, two types of alpha. The first achieves dominance through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't remain for extended periods. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a younger individual will merely oppose a superior one if his friend, typically a relative, is alongside him. And as we've seen, they endure significantly longer," she detailed.
Group Dynamics
The renowned scientist also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had shown her about combative conduct shown by groups of humans and primates when encountering something they perceived as dangerous, despite the fact that no threat actually existed.
"Chimpanzees encounter an unfamiliar individual from a neighboring community, and they get highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they extend and touch another, and they display visages of rage and terror, and it spreads, and the others absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become hostile," she described.
"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Certain displays that become hostile, it spreads among them. They all want to get involved and grow hostile. They're defending their domain or fighting for control."
Comparable Human Reactions
When inquired if she considered similar behaviors applied to human beings, Goodall replied: "Probably, sometimes yes. But I truly believe that the majority of individuals are good."
"My main objective is educating future generations of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Context
Goodall, born in London five years before the commencement of the World War II, likened the fight against the difficulties of current political landscape to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" exhibited by Winston Churchill.
"However, this isn't to say you don't have times of despair, but then you come out and state, 'OK, I refuse to allow their success'," she remarked.
"It resembles the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his renowned address, we'll fight them on the beaches, we shall battle them through the avenues and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them at the ends of shattered glass since that's everything we've bloody well got'."
Final Message
In her final address, Goodall offered words of encouragement for those combating political oppression and the environmental crisis.
"Even today, when the planet is difficult, there continues to be optimism. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you grow indifferent and take no action," she recommended.
"Whenever you wish to protect the existing splendor on our planet – when you wish to protect our world for subsequent eras, future family, their grandchildren – then think about the decisions you make each day. Since, multiplied countless, a billion times, modest choices will make for substantial improvement."
