Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Launch Trump and Musk on Single-Journey Cosmic Voyage

After dedicating years observing chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist shared her unique solution for addressing specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: launching them on a one-way journey into space.

Posthumous Film Unveils Honest Views

This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Famous Last Words", which was captured in March and preserved private until after her recently announced death at nine decades of life.

"There are people I dislike, and I wish to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the world he's convinced he's going to discover," commented Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When asked whether Elon Musk, famous for his disputed actions and associations, would be among them, Goodall replied with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He would be the organizer. Envision whom I would include on that vessel. In addition to Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she announced.

"And then I would add the Russian president in there, and I would include China's President Xi. Without question I would add the Israeli leader on that journey and his far-right government. Put them all on that vessel and launch them."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of conservation efforts, had voiced concerns about the political figure specifically.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he exhibited "similar type of behavior as a dominant primate demonstrates when battling for leadership with a rival. They posture, they swagger, they project themselves as much larger and aggressive than they really are in order to frighten their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her analysis of alpha personalities.

"We observe, remarkably, two types of dominant individual. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't last for extended periods. The second type succeeds by using their brains, like a young male will just confront a superior one if his companion, often his brother, is with him. And research shows, they endure far more extended periods," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about combative conduct displayed by groups of humans and apes when faced with something they considered threatening, although no danger truly existed.

"Primates observe an outsider from an adjacent group, and they get all excited, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and make physical contact, and they've got expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it spreads, and the rest adopt that emotion that one member has had, and they all become combative," she explained.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. They all want to become and join in and become aggressive. They're defending their area or fighting for supremacy."

Comparable Human Reactions

When asked if she believed similar behaviors applied to humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, sometimes yes. But I strongly feel that most people are ethical."

"My main objective is raising the upcoming generation of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. It's a really grim time."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, originally from London prior to the start of the the global conflict, likened the fight against the challenges of present day politics to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"That doesn't mean you don't have times of despair, but eventually you emerge and state, 'OK, I won't allow to let them win'," she remarked.

"It's like Churchill throughout the battle, his renowned address, we shall combat them along the shores, we'll fight them along the roads and metropolitan centers, subsequently he remarked to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we shall combat them with the remnants of damaged containers because that's all we actually possess'."

Closing Thoughts

In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided motivational statements for those resisting authoritarian control and the ecological disaster.

"Even today, when the world is dark, there still is hope. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you turn into indifferent and take no action," she advised.

"Whenever you wish to protect the remaining beauty in this world – should you desire to preserve Earth for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their offspring – then consider the decisions you implement each day. As, multiplied numerous, a billion times, even small actions will generate significant transformation."
