Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Space Mission
After devoting her life researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar traits: launching them on a non-return journey into outer space.
Posthumous Film Reveals Frank Opinions
This notable viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix production "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and maintained secret until after her recently announced passing at 91 years old.
"There are persons I'm not fond of, and I want to send them on a SpaceX vessel and launch them to the celestial body he's convinced he'll locate," stated Goodall during her conversation with the interviewer.
Named Figures Targeted
When inquired whether Elon Musk, recognized for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be included, Goodall answered affirmatively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the host. Envision the people I would place on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.
"Furthermore I would include Russia's leader in there, and I would put Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put the Israeli leader among the passengers and his political allies. Put them all on that vessel and launch them."
Past Observations
This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the political figure especially.
In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he displayed "similar type of behavior as an alpha chimp demonstrates when he's competing for supremacy with a rival. They stand tall, they swagger, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they may actually be in order to daunt their rivals."
Dominance Patterns
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall elaborated on her understanding of dominant individuals.
"We observe, notably, two kinds of leader. One type succeeds solely through combat, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't remain very long. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will merely oppose a more dominant one if his companion, often his brother, is with him. And you know, they remain far more extended periods," she detailed.
Collective Behavior
The renowned scientist also analyzed the "politicization" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about hostile actions shown by human communities and apes when faced with something they considered hostile, despite the fact that no danger truly existed.
"Primates encounter a stranger from a neighboring community, and they grow all excited, and the hair stands out, and they extend and make physical contact, and they show visages of hostility and apprehension, and it catches, and the others absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and the entire group grows hostile," she explained.
"It's contagious," she added. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it sweeps through them. Everyone desires to become and join in and grow hostile. They're guarding their area or competing for supremacy."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she believed the same patterns applied to humans, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I truly believe that most people are ethical."
"My primary aspiration is educating the upcoming generation of compassionate citizens, foundations and growth. But do we have time? I don't know. These are difficult times."
Historical Context
Goodall, a London native five years before the beginning of the World War II, equated the fight against the challenges of contemporary politics to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.
"This doesn't imply you don't have periods of sadness, but then you come out and declare, 'Alright, I refuse to permit their victory'," she stated.
"It's similar to the Prime Minister in the war, his renowned address, we will oppose them along the shores, we'll fight them in the streets and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a companion and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of shattered glass as that's the only thing we actually possess'."
Closing Thoughts
In her final address, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those resisting governmental suppression and the climate emergency.
"In current times, when the world is challenging, there still is hope. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you grow apathetic and take no action," she counseled.
"Whenever you want to preserve the existing splendor on our planet – if you want to save the planet for coming generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then contemplate the choices you take daily. As, multiplied a million, innumerable instances, minor decisions will generate significant transformation."
