Primatologist Jane Goodall Revealed Wish to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Trip to Space
After devoting her life researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist revealed her unusual solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar characteristics: sending them on a one-way journey into space.
Legacy Interview Discloses Candid Thoughts
This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix production "Final Words", which was filmed in March and preserved private until after her recent demise at nine decades of life.
"There are individuals I dislike, and I want to send them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the world he's sure he'll locate," stated Goodall during her conversation with Brad Falchuk.
Specific Individuals Targeted
When questioned whether Elon Musk, famous for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be included, Goodall replied affirmatively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He would be the host. Picture the people I would place on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"And then I would put Vladimir Putin on board, and I would include China's leader. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister in there and his far-right government. Put them all on that spacecraft and send them off."
Previous Criticism
This wasn't the first time that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the political figure specifically.
In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he exhibited "comparable kind of actions as a male chimpanzee exhibits when battling for supremacy with a rival. They stand tall, they parade, they portray themselves as much larger and combative than they may actually be in order to intimidate their rivals."
Leadership Styles
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her understanding of leadership types.
"We see, remarkably, two categories of leader. The first achieves dominance solely through combat, and due to their strength and they fight, they don't last for extended periods. Another group achieves dominance by utilizing strategy, like a young male will merely oppose a higher ranking one if his ally, typically a relative, is with him. And as we've seen, they remain far more extended periods," she detailed.
Collective Behavior
The famous researcher also examined the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about combative conduct shown by human communities and primates when encountering something they viewed as threatening, despite the fact that no risk actually existed.
"Chimps encounter an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they get all excited, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and contact each other, and they display expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it catches, and the rest catch that feeling that one member has had, and the entire group grows hostile," she described.
"It's contagious," she added. "Various exhibitions that become hostile, it sweeps through them. Everyone desires to become and join in and become aggressive. They're guarding their domain or competing for control."
Human Parallels
When inquired if she considered similar patterns occurred in people, Goodall answered: "Probably, on occasion. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are ethical."
"My biggest hope is raising the upcoming generation of compassionate citizens, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, a London native prior to the start of the the global conflict, equated the struggle against the challenges of current political landscape to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.
"That doesn't mean you don't have moments of depression, but then you come out and declare, 'Well, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she stated.
"It's like Churchill in the war, his iconic words, we'll fight them along the shores, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to a friend and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of damaged containers as that's the only thing we truly have'."
Closing Thoughts
In her final address, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those combating governmental suppression and the climate emergency.
"At present, when the planet is dark, there continues to be possibility. Preserve faith. When faith diminishes, you turn into apathetic and take no action," she counseled.
"And if you wish to save the remaining beauty in this world – should you desire to preserve Earth for subsequent eras, future family, later generations – then consider the decisions you implement every day. Because, expanded countless, innumerable instances, even small actions will create great change."
