Primatologist Jane Goodall Revealed Desire to Launch Musk and Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After spending decades researching chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the hostile behavior of alpha males. In a recently released interview documented shortly before her death, the famous primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for addressing specific people she viewed as showing similar characteristics: launching them on a non-return journey into space.

Posthumous Film Discloses Honest Views

This notable perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was captured in March and preserved private until after her recently announced demise at nine decades of life.

"I know individuals I dislike, and I want to place them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the planet he's certain he'll find," stated Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Identified

When inquired whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his questionable behavior and associations, would be among them, Goodall answered affirmatively.

"Yes, definitely. He could serve as the host. Picture the people I would place on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.

"Additionally I would put the Russian president on board, and I would put China's leader. Without question I would add the Israeli leader among the passengers and his far-right government. Place them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Past Observations

This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump in particular.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he showed "the same sort of behavior as an alpha chimp exhibits when battling for supremacy with a rival. They posture, they swagger, they present themselves as really more large and hostile than they truly are in order to daunt their rivals."

Dominance Patterns

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of dominant individuals.

"We observe, interestingly, two types of dominant individual. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't endure indefinitely. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a higher ranking one if his friend, often his brother, is supporting him. And research shows, they remain significantly longer," she detailed.

Group Dynamics

The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "political aspect" of actions, and what her detailed observations had revealed to her about aggressive behaviors shown by human communities and chimpanzees when faced with something they perceived as dangerous, even if no danger really was present.

"Primates observe an outsider from a neighboring community, and they get all excited, and their hair erect, and they extend and make physical contact, and they show expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it catches, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Certain displays that become hostile, it permeates the group. They all want to get involved and become aggressive. They're guarding their area or competing for dominance."

Human Parallels

When inquired if she believed similar behaviors occurred in humans, Goodall replied: "Likely, in certain situations. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are decent."

"My primary aspiration is raising this new generation of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, born in London prior to the start of the World War II, equated the struggle against the darkness of present day politics 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 then you come out and say, 'Well, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she remarked.

"It's similar to Churchill throughout the battle, his renowned address, we will oppose them along the shores, we will resist them through the avenues and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a friend and was heard to say, 'and we'll fight them at the ends of broken bottles as that's the only thing we've bloody well got'."

Closing Thoughts

In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those resisting political oppression and the climate emergency.

"Even today, when Earth is difficult, there continues to be possibility. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you grow indifferent and do nothing," she advised.

"Whenever you desire to preserve what is still beautiful in this world – if you want to save the planet for subsequent eras, your descendants, their grandchildren – then contemplate the choices you take every day. As, replicated a million, a billion times, modest choices will make for substantial improvement."
