Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Shared Desire to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Space Mission

After devoting her life studying chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of dominant males. In a recently released interview documented shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for addressing particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: launching them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.

Final Documentary Reveals Frank Opinions

This remarkable perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Final Words", which was filmed in March and maintained secret until after her recently announced demise at 91 years old.

"I've encountered people I'm not fond of, and I wish to send them on a SpaceX vessel and dispatch them to the celestial body he's convinced he'll find," commented Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Identified

When inquired whether Elon Musk, known for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be included, Goodall responded positively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the organizer. Picture whom I would include on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's dedicated followers," she stated.

"Additionally I would add Russia's leader on board, and I would put China's President Xi. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off."

Earlier Comments

This wasn't the first time that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about the former president especially.

In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he displayed "the same sort of behavior as a dominant primate demonstrates when vying for supremacy with another. They stand tall, they strut, they portray themselves as much larger and aggressive than they really are in order to intimidate their competitors."

Leadership Styles

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her analysis of dominant individuals.

"We get, notably, two types of leader. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't last indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will just confront a higher ranking one if his ally, typically a relative, is supporting him. And you know, they endure significantly longer," she explained.

Group Dynamics

The renowned scientist also examined the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had taught her about combative conduct shown by people and apes when encountering something they viewed as dangerous, although no danger actually existed.

"Primates encounter a stranger from an adjacent group, and they grow highly agitated, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and make physical contact, and they display expressions of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the rest absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become aggressive," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Certain displays that become hostile, it sweeps through them. They all want to become and join in and grow hostile. They're protecting their area or battling for dominance."

Similar Human Behavior

When inquired if she thought the same behaviors applied to humans, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are decent."

"My biggest hope is raising future generations of caring individuals, roots and shoots. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Context

Goodall, born in London prior to the commencement of the the global conflict, compared the struggle against the challenges of present day politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you don't have periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'OK, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she stated.

"It resembles the leader during the conflict, his renowned address, we'll fight them at the coastlines, we'll fight them along the roads and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of broken bottles since that's everything we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her last message, Goodall shared motivational statements for those resisting political oppression and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when Earth is challenging, there continues to be optimism. Don't lose hope. Should optimism fade, you grow apathetic and remain inactive," she advised.

"Whenever you want to protect what is still beautiful across the globe – should you desire to preserve Earth for coming generations, future family, later generations – then think about the actions you make daily. As, expanded a million, a billion times, minor decisions will create great change."
