Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Wish to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space

After spending decades researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of alpha males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist shared her unconventional solution for addressing specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: transporting them on a permanent journey into outer space.

Legacy Interview Reveals Honest Views

This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and kept secret until after her latest passing at the age of 91.

"There are persons I dislike, and I want to place them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the planet he's certain he's going to discover," commented Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Identified

When inquired whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his disputed actions and connections, would be included, Goodall responded positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the organizer. You can imagine the people I would place on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.

"Additionally I would add the Russian president among them, and I would place China's President Xi. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister on that journey and his administration. Place them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Earlier Comments

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about the former president especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he showed "comparable kind of conduct as an alpha chimp exhibits when he's competing for supremacy with a rival. They're upright, they strut, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they truly are in order to frighten their competitors."

Alpha Behavior

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

"We observe, remarkably, two types of dominant individual. One type succeeds solely through combat, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't endure indefinitely. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a younger individual will only challenge a higher ranking one if his ally, often his brother, is with him. And research shows, they last far more extended periods," she detailed.

Group Dynamics

The celebrated primatologist also studied the "politicization" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had taught her about combative conduct displayed by people and chimpanzees when encountering something they perceived as threatening, despite the fact that no risk truly existed.

"Chimpanzees observe a stranger from a nearby tribe, and they get very stimulated, and their hair erect, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they've got visages of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the others adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and the entire group grows combative," she described.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. They all want to become and join in and grow hostile. They're protecting their area or battling for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When inquired if she considered comparable dynamics occurred in humans, Goodall responded: "Likely, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My main objective is raising this new generation of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. It's a really grim time."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, a London native five years before the start of the World War II, compared the fight against the challenges of present day politics to England opposing Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by the British leader.

"This doesn't imply you avoid having periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and state, 'Alright, I won't allow to allow their success'," she stated.

"It resembles Churchill during the conflict, his famous speech, we will oppose them along the shores, we'll fight them through the avenues and urban areas, then he turned aside to a companion and was heard to say, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of broken bottles since that's everything we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her final address, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those combating political oppression and the environmental crisis.

"In current times, when the planet is difficult, there still is possibility. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you become indifferent and take no action," she recommended.

"Should you wish to preserve what is still beautiful across the globe – should you desire to protect our world for the future generations, future family, their grandchildren – then contemplate the choices you implement each day. As, expanded numerous, multiple occasions, even small actions will create substantial improvement."
