Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Send Trump and Musk on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After spending decades observing chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of alpha males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her death, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unique solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar traits: sending them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Posthumous Film Reveals Frank Opinions

This notable perspective into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was recorded in March and preserved confidential until after her recent death at the age of 91.

"I've encountered people I'm not fond of, and I would like to put them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the celestial body he's sure he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.

Particular Personalities Identified

When asked whether the SpaceX founder, known for his disputed actions and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall replied positively.

"Yes, definitely. He would be the leader. You can imagine who I'd put on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she declared.

"Additionally I would put the Russian president on board, and I would include Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister in there and his administration. Send them all on that vessel and send them off."

Earlier Comments

This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about the former president specifically.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he showed "comparable kind of actions as an alpha chimp exhibits when vying for supremacy with a rival. They're upright, they parade, they present themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to daunt their rivals."

Leadership Styles

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her analysis of dominant individuals.

"We observe, remarkably, two categories of alpha. One does it solely through combat, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't last indefinitely. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a superior one if his ally, typically a relative, is supporting him. And research shows, they remain significantly longer," she detailed.

Group Dynamics

The renowned scientist also studied the "political aspect" of actions, and what her detailed observations had shown her about hostile actions displayed by groups of humans and primates when encountering something they viewed as threatening, despite the fact that no risk truly existed.

"Primates see an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they become all excited, and their fur bristles, and they extend and touch another, and they display expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the rest absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become hostile," she explained.

"It transmits easily," she continued. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it sweeps through them. They all want to get involved and grow hostile. They're defending their area or competing for supremacy."

Human Parallels

When asked if she thought comparable patterns occurred in people, Goodall responded: "Likely, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that most people are decent."

"My primary aspiration is nurturing future generations of compassionate citizens, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Context

Goodall, born in London five years before the commencement of the Second World War, compared the struggle against the darkness of current political landscape to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"That doesn't mean you avoid having periods of sadness, but eventually you emerge and say, 'Well, I won't allow to let them win'," she remarked.

"It resembles the leader in the war, his iconic words, we will oppose them on the beaches, we'll fight them along the roads and urban areas, then he turned aside to a companion and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of shattered glass as that's the only thing we actually possess'."

Final Message

In her final address, Goodall provided motivational statements for those resisting governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.

"In current times, when the planet is challenging, there continues to be optimism. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you turn into unresponsive and take no action," she advised.

"And if you want to preserve what is still beautiful in this world – if you want to preserve Earth for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their offspring – then consider the choices you implement each day. Because, multiplied countless, a billion times, modest choices will generate significant transformation."
