Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Launch Musk and Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space

After devoting her life studying chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the aggressive tendencies of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for handling specific people she viewed as displaying similar characteristics: sending them on a non-return journey into outer space.

Posthumous Film Discloses Frank Opinions

This remarkable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was captured in March and maintained private until after her recent passing at 91 years old.

"There are individuals I dislike, and I would like to put them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the world he's certain he'll find," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Specific Individuals Identified

When asked whether the tech billionaire, known for his controversial gestures and political alliances, would be included, Goodall replied with certainty.

"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the organizer. Picture the people I would place on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.

"And then I would add Vladimir Putin among them, and I would place China's President Xi. I'd certainly put the Israeli leader among the passengers and his far-right government. Send them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Past Observations

This was not the first time that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had voiced concerns about the former president especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he showed "similar type of actions as an alpha chimp will show when battling for leadership with a rival. They posture, they parade, they present themselves as much larger and combative than they truly are in order to frighten their opponents."

Leadership Styles

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of leadership types.

"We observe, remarkably, two categories of leader. One does it all by aggression, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't endure very long. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a superior one if his companion, often his brother, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they remain significantly longer," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The renowned scientist also studied the "political aspect" of behavior, and what her detailed observations had shown her about hostile actions displayed by human communities and primates when faced with something they considered threatening, despite the fact that no risk truly existed.

"Primates observe a stranger from a neighboring community, and they grow all excited, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and contact each other, and they've got these faces of hostility and apprehension, and it catches, and the rest catch that feeling that this one male has had, and the entire group grows combative," she detailed.

"It's contagious," she added. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to become and join in and become aggressive. They're defending their territory or fighting for dominance."

Similar Human Behavior

When asked if she considered the same dynamics were present in people, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I truly believe that the majority of individuals are ethical."

"My primary aspiration is raising this new generation of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. It's a really grim time."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, a London native five years before the commencement of the the global conflict, compared the fight against the darkness of current political landscape to England opposing German forces, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by Winston Churchill.

"This doesn't imply you avoid having times of despair, but eventually you emerge and say, 'Alright, I'm not going to allow their success'," she commented.

"It resembles the leader throughout the battle, his renowned address, we'll fight them along the shores, we shall battle them through the avenues and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them using the fragments of damaged containers as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her last message, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those fighting against governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.

"In current times, when Earth is challenging, there continues to be hope. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you become apathetic and do nothing," she recommended.

"Should you want to preserve the existing splendor on our planet – when you wish to preserve Earth for coming generations, future family, later generations – then think about the choices you make every day. Because, expanded numerous, multiple occasions, even small actions will create great change."
