Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage

After devoting her life researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist shared her unusual solution for addressing specific people she viewed as displaying similar characteristics: transporting them on a one-way journey into space.

Legacy Interview Discloses Frank Opinions

This extraordinary perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was filmed in March and kept confidential until after her recently announced demise at 91 years old.

"I've encountered people I don't like, and I would like to send them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the world he's sure he'll find," stated Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.

Specific Individuals Mentioned

When asked whether the tech billionaire, famous for his disputed actions and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the organizer. Picture who I'd put on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.

"Furthermore I would put Vladimir Putin in there, and I would place China's leader. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister in there and his political allies. Put them all on that vessel and launch them."

Previous Criticism

This was not the first time that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had shared negative views about the former president specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he displayed "similar type of behavior as an alpha chimp demonstrates when vying for dominance with a rival. They posture, they parade, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her final interview, Goodall elaborated on her analysis of dominant individuals.

"We see, remarkably, two kinds of leader. One does it all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't remain for extended periods. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a higher ranking one if his companion, frequently a sibling, is alongside him. And research shows, they endure far more extended periods," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also analyzed the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about combative conduct displayed by human communities and chimpanzees when confronted with something they viewed as hostile, even if no danger truly existed.

"Chimpanzees see a stranger from a neighboring community, and they get highly agitated, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and contact each other, and they show expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the rest adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and everyone turns combative," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Certain displays that become hostile, it sweeps through them. They all want to get involved and turn violent. They're defending their domain or battling for supremacy."

Similar Human Behavior

When asked if she thought comparable behaviors applied to human beings, Goodall responded: "Probably, on occasion. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are good."

"My primary aspiration is educating this new generation of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, a London native shortly before the start of the Second World War, compared the struggle against the difficulties of current political landscape to Britain standing up German forces, and the "determined resistance" displayed by the British leader.

"However, this isn't to say you won't experience times of despair, but then you come out and declare, 'Well, I refuse to permit their victory'," she commented.

"It's like the leader throughout the battle, his renowned address, we'll fight them along the shores, we'll fight them through the avenues and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a companion and was heard to say, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of shattered glass since that's everything we actually possess'."

Parting Words

In her last message, Goodall offered motivational statements for those fighting against authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.

"At present, when the world is difficult, there remains possibility. Maintain optimism. When faith diminishes, you grow indifferent and take no action," she recommended.

"Whenever you desire to preserve the existing splendor in this world – when you wish to protect our world for the future generations, your descendants, their offspring – then contemplate the actions you take each day. Because, multiplied a million, innumerable instances, even small actions will generate substantial improvement."
