Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Transport Musk and Trump on One-Way Space Mission

After spending decades observing chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of alpha males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist shared her unconventional solution for handling specific people she viewed as displaying similar traits: launching them on a non-return journey into outer space.

Legacy Interview Reveals Honest Views

This remarkable perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was recorded in March and maintained confidential until after her recent death at 91 years old.

"I've encountered persons I dislike, and I want to send them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the celestial body he's sure he'll find," commented Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When asked whether the tech billionaire, famous for his controversial gestures and political alliances, would be included, Goodall replied with certainty.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the leader. You can imagine who I'd put on that vessel. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.

"And then I would include Russia's leader among them, and I would place China's President Xi. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his far-right government. Place them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."

Previous Criticism

This wasn't the first time that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had voiced concerns about the political figure especially.

In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he displayed "comparable kind of conduct as a male chimpanzee will show when battling for dominance with a rival. They're upright, they parade, they present themselves as much larger and aggressive than they really are in order to intimidate their competitors."

Dominance Patterns

During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of alpha personalities.

"We get, interestingly, two categories of leader. One does it through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't endure for extended periods. The second type succeeds by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will just confront a more dominant one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is with him. And research shows, they endure significantly longer," she clarified.

Social Interactions

The celebrated primatologist also examined the "social dimension" of actions, and what her extensive studies had shown her about aggressive behaviors exhibited by groups of humans and chimpanzees when confronted with something they considered hostile, although no risk truly existed.

"Primates see a stranger from an adjacent group, and they get very stimulated, and the hair stands out, and they extend and contact each other, and they display these faces of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the others catch that feeling that this one male has had, and everyone turns combative," she detailed.

"It transmits easily," she added. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. Each member wishes to get involved and turn violent. They're guarding their area or fighting for control."

Comparable Human Reactions

When inquired if she thought comparable patterns occurred in humans, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are ethical."

"My biggest hope is nurturing future generations of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, originally from London shortly before the beginning of the the global conflict, likened the struggle against the darkness of present day politics to England opposing Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"This doesn't imply you avoid having times of despair, but then you come out and declare, 'Alright, I won't allow to let them win'," she remarked.

"It resembles Churchill throughout the battle, his famous speech, we will oppose them on the beaches, we'll fight them along the roads and the cities, then he turned aside to a companion and was heard to say, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of shattered glass because that's all we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her final address, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those fighting against authoritarian control and the climate emergency.

"Even today, when Earth is challenging, there remains optimism. Don't lose hope. When faith diminishes, you become apathetic and do nothing," she recommended.

"Whenever you desire to protect the remaining beauty on our planet – when you wish to protect our world for the future generations, your grandchildren, their offspring – then contemplate the decisions you make every day. As, multiplied countless, innumerable instances, minor decisions will make for substantial improvement."
