Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Launch Trump and Musk on One-Way Space Mission
After dedicating years observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a recently released interview documented shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unique solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: launching them on a one-way journey into space.
Posthumous Film Unveils Candid Thoughts
This remarkable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and maintained private until after her latest death at 91 years old.
"There are individuals I'm not fond of, and I wish to send them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the planet he's sure he'll locate," stated Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.
Particular Personalities Mentioned
When asked whether the tech billionaire, known for his questionable behavior and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded affirmatively.
"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the host. You can imagine who I'd put on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's real supporters," she stated.
"Furthermore I would add the Russian president in there, and I would put China's leader. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu on that journey and his administration. Place them all on that vessel and send them off."
Previous Criticism
This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the political figure in particular.
In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he exhibited "comparable kind of behavior as an alpha chimp exhibits when he's competing for dominance with a rival. They posture, they strut, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and hostile than they may actually be in order to daunt their opponents."
Alpha Behavior
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her understanding of leadership types.
"We observe, interestingly, two types of alpha. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't last for extended periods. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a young male will just confront a superior one if his companion, often his brother, is with him. And research shows, they remain far more extended periods," she detailed.
Social Interactions
The celebrated primatologist also studied the "politicization" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had revealed to her about combative conduct displayed by people and apes when confronted with something they perceived as threatening, although no threat truly existed.
"Chimps observe a stranger from a neighboring community, and they become all excited, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they display expressions of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the others adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and everyone turns hostile," she explained.
"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Certain displays that grow violent, it sweeps through them. Each member wishes to become and join in and grow hostile. They're defending their territory or fighting for supremacy."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she thought the same patterns were present in people, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are ethical."
"My main objective is nurturing this new generation of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But do we have time? It's unclear. These are difficult times."
Historical Context
Goodall, originally from London five years before the beginning of the Second World War, equated the struggle against the difficulties of current political landscape to Britain standing up German forces, and the "determined resistance" exhibited by the British leader.
"However, this isn't to say you avoid having moments of depression, but then you come out and state, 'Alright, I won't allow to let them win'," she commented.
"It's similar to Churchill during the conflict, his famous speech, we shall combat them along the shores, we'll fight them in the streets and urban areas, then he turned aside to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of damaged containers since that's everything we truly have'."
Final Message
In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those combating authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.
"Even today, when the world is difficult, there remains optimism. Don't lose hope. Should optimism fade, you grow apathetic and remain inactive," she recommended.
"Should you wish to save what is still beautiful in this world β when you wish to protect our world for coming generations, your descendants, their grandchildren β then consider the actions you make daily. Since, multiplied numerous, a billion times, minor decisions will create significant transformation."
