Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Launch Musk and Trump on Single-Journey Space Mission
After devoting her life observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her death, the famous primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: transporting them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.
Legacy Interview Unveils Frank Opinions
This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix production "Final Words", which was captured in March and kept secret until after her recently announced passing at 91 years old.
"There are people I'm not fond of, and I want to place them on a spacecraft and launch them to the planet he's certain he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.
Particular Personalities Targeted
When asked whether Elon Musk, famous for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be among them, Goodall replied positively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the organizer. You can imagine the people I would place on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"Furthermore I would add Vladimir Putin in there, and I would include China's President Xi. I would definitely include the Israeli leader among the passengers and his political allies. Place them all on that vessel and launch them."
Earlier Comments
This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the former president in particular.
In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he showed "the same sort of behavior as a dominant primate exhibits when he's competing for dominance with a rival. They posture, they swagger, they present themselves as really more large and aggressive than they truly are in order to frighten their rivals."
Leadership Styles
During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her comprehension of dominant individuals.
"We get, notably, two categories of alpha. One does it all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't endure for extended periods. The second type succeeds by utilizing strategy, like a younger individual will just confront a superior one if his ally, typically a relative, is with him. And you know, they remain much, much longer," she explained.
Group Dynamics
The celebrated primatologist also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had taught her about aggressive behaviors shown by human communities and apes when confronted with something they viewed as dangerous, even if no danger truly existed.
"Chimpanzees see an outsider from a neighboring community, and they become all excited, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they've got visages 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 hostile," she described.
"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that grow violent, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to get involved and grow hostile. They're protecting their domain or fighting for control."
Human Parallels
When asked if she thought comparable behaviors were present in humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are good."
"My primary aspiration is nurturing future generations of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? It's unclear. It's a really grim time."
Historical Comparison
Goodall, a London native prior to the commencement of the the global conflict, likened the struggle against the difficulties of current political landscape to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by the prime minister.
"However, this isn't to say you won't experience periods of sadness, but then you come out and declare, 'Alright, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she remarked.
"It's similar to the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his renowned address, we shall combat them along the shores, we will resist them through the avenues and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."
Final Message
In her last message, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those resisting authoritarian control and the climate emergency.
"In current times, when Earth is challenging, there continues to be possibility. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you grow apathetic and take no action," she advised.
"And if you desire to protect what is still beautiful on our planet – should you desire to protect our world for coming generations, your grandchildren, their offspring – then contemplate the decisions you implement daily. Since, multiplied a million, multiple occasions, minor decisions will create substantial improvement."
