Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Send Musk and Trump on One-Way Space Mission
After spending decades observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of dominant males. In a recently released interview documented shortly before her death, the famous primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for handling specific people she viewed as displaying similar qualities: launching them on a non-return journey into outer space.
Final Documentary Unveils Frank Opinions
This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Final Words", which was filmed in March and kept private until after her latest death at the age of 91.
"I know persons I don't like, and I want to send them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the celestial body he's convinced he'll locate," stated Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.
Specific Individuals Mentioned
When inquired whether the tech billionaire, famous for his disputed actions and connections, would be among them, Goodall responded with certainty.
"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the host. Picture who I'd put on that vessel. In addition to Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.
"And then I would add Russia's leader among them, and I would include China's President Xi. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his administration. Send them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."
Past Observations
This wasn't the first time that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about the political figure especially.
In a previous discussion, she had noted that he displayed "the same sort of behavior as a dominant primate exhibits when he's competing for leadership with another. They posture, they strut, they present themselves as much larger and combative than they truly are in order to intimidate their rivals."
Dominance Patterns
During her posthumous documentary, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of leadership types.
"We get, remarkably, two types of alpha. The first achieves dominance through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't remain very long. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like a young male will just confront a higher ranking one if his friend, often his brother, is supporting him. And you know, they last significantly longer," she explained.
Social Interactions
The celebrated primatologist also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about combative conduct exhibited by human communities and chimpanzees when confronted with something they perceived as threatening, despite the fact that no risk actually existed.
"Chimpanzees see an outsider from an adjacent group, and they grow very stimulated, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and make physical contact, and they've got visages of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that a single individual has had, and everyone turns combative," she detailed.
"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that become hostile, it spreads among them. They all want to get involved and become aggressive. They're defending their domain or battling for control."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she considered comparable patterns were present in humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that most people are good."
"My primary aspiration is raising the upcoming generation of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. These are difficult times."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, originally from London shortly before the commencement of the Second World War, compared the fight against the challenges of contemporary politics to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by the British leader.
"That doesn't mean you won't experience times of despair, but eventually you emerge and state, 'Well, I won't allow to let them win'," she stated.
"It's similar to Churchill in the war, his famous speech, we shall combat them along the shores, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of shattered glass as that's the only thing we've bloody well got'."
Parting Words
In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered motivational statements for those fighting against governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.
"At present, when the planet is dark, there continues to be hope. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you become apathetic and do nothing," she counseled.
"Whenever you want to preserve what is still beautiful on our planet – should you desire to protect our world for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then think about the decisions you make every day. Because, multiplied countless, innumerable instances, even small actions will generate substantial improvement."
