Jane Goodall Revealed Aspiration to Send Trump and Musk on Non-Return Cosmic Voyage
After devoting her life observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of leading males. In a newly published interview recorded shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar qualities: transporting them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.
Legacy Interview Reveals Frank Opinions
This extraordinary insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and preserved secret until after her recently announced death at nine decades of life.
"There are people I dislike, and I want to send them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the planet he's certain he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her conversation with the interviewer.
Particular Personalities Identified
When questioned whether Elon Musk, known for his controversial gestures and associations, would be among them, Goodall replied with certainty.
"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the host. You can imagine whom I would include on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"Furthermore I would put Vladimir Putin among them, and I would include China's President Xi. Without question I would add the Israeli leader on that journey and his political allies. Send them all on that vessel and dispatch them."
Earlier Comments
This was not the first time that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about the political figure specifically.
In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he exhibited "the same sort of conduct as an alpha chimp exhibits when vying for dominance with another. They stand tall, they swagger, they present themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to daunt their rivals."
Dominance Patterns
During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her analysis of alpha personalities.
"We get, interestingly, two categories of leader. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and due to their strength and they combat, they don't last indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like a younger individual will merely oppose a more dominant one if his ally, often his brother, is supporting him. And you know, they last significantly longer," she explained.
Group Dynamics
The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had shown her about aggressive behaviors shown by people and apes when encountering something they viewed as threatening, even if no risk actually existed.
"Chimpanzees encounter an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they get all excited, and their fur bristles, and they extend and make physical contact, and they display visages of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the rest absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become combative," she described.
"It's contagious," she noted. "Certain displays that become hostile, it sweeps through them. They all want to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're defending their territory or battling for supremacy."
Comparable Human Reactions
When inquired if she considered comparable behaviors occurred in humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are good."
"My biggest hope is nurturing this new generation of caring individuals, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."
Historical Context
Goodall, a London native shortly before the commencement of the Second World War, compared the battle with the darkness of contemporary politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by Winston Churchill.
"That doesn't mean you avoid having moments of depression, but then you come out and declare, 'Well, I won't allow to let them win'," she stated.
"It's like the Prime Minister during the conflict, his iconic words, we'll fight them on the beaches, we will resist them along the roads and urban areas, afterward he commented to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of shattered glass since that's everything we truly have'."
Closing Thoughts
In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered motivational statements for those resisting political oppression and the climate emergency.
"At present, when the world is dark, there still is optimism. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you grow unresponsive and do nothing," she recommended.
"Whenever you desire to preserve what is still beautiful across the globe – should you desire to protect our world for subsequent eras, future family, their grandchildren – then consider the decisions you implement each day. As, replicated countless, multiple occasions, modest choices will make for great change."
