Jane Goodall Shared Aspiration to Transport Trump and Musk on Single-Journey Cosmic Voyage

After spending decades researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of dominant males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her death, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unique solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Legacy Interview Unveils Candid Thoughts

This notable insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and preserved private until after her recently announced death at nine decades of life.

"I've encountered persons I dislike, and I would like to send them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the celestial body he's sure he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her conversation with Brad Falchuk.

Named Figures Targeted

When inquired whether the tech billionaire, known for his disputed actions and connections, would be included, Goodall answered with certainty.

"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the leader. Envision the people I would place on that spaceship. Together with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.

"And then I would add Russia's leader among them, and I would place Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put the Israeli leader on that journey and his political allies. Send them all on that spacecraft and launch them."

Past Observations

This was not the first time that Goodall, a supporter of environmental causes, had shared negative views about the former president especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he exhibited "comparable kind of conduct as a male chimpanzee exhibits when vying for supremacy with an opponent. They posture, they parade, they present themselves as really more large and combative than they truly are in order to intimidate their opponents."

Leadership Styles

During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her comprehension of dominant individuals.

"We see, notably, two types of alpha. One does it all by aggression, and due to their strength and they combat, they don't remain indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will just confront a higher ranking one if his friend, often his brother, is supporting him. And you know, they remain far more extended periods," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of behavior, and what her detailed observations had shown her about combative conduct displayed by groups of humans and chimpanzees when faced with something they perceived as threatening, despite the fact that no danger actually existed.

"Chimpanzees observe a stranger from an adjacent group, and they grow very stimulated, and the hair stands out, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they've got these faces of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the others adopt that emotion that one member has had, and everyone turns hostile," she explained.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. They all want to become and join in and become aggressive. They're defending their domain or competing for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When asked if she believed the same patterns applied to humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, in certain situations. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are good."

"My primary aspiration is nurturing this new generation of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, born in London shortly before the start of the Second World War, compared the fight against the difficulties of current political landscape to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" shown by the British leader.

"However, this isn't to say you won't experience times of despair, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'Well, I'm not going to let them win'," she commented.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister during the conflict, his famous speech, we will oppose them on the beaches, we shall battle them through the avenues and the cities, then he turned aside to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of damaged containers as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Final Message

In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those fighting against authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when the planet is difficult, there continues to be optimism. Don't lose hope. If you lose hope, you grow indifferent and do nothing," she recommended.

"And if you wish to preserve the remaining beauty in this world – if you want to protect our world for coming generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the decisions you make daily. Because, replicated a million, innumerable instances, modest choices will make for substantial improvement."
