Primatologist Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Space Mission
After dedicating years studying chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of leading males. In a recently released interview filmed shortly before her demise, the famous primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for dealing with certain individuals she viewed as showing similar traits: transporting them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.
Posthumous Film Unveils Honest Views
This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and preserved secret until after her recent death at 91 years old.
"I know persons I don't like, and I wish to send them on a spacecraft and launch them to the world he's certain he's going to discover," commented Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.
Named Figures Identified
When questioned whether the SpaceX founder, recognized for his controversial gestures and connections, would be among them, Goodall responded positively.
"Yes, definitely. He would be the leader. Picture whom I would include on that vessel. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"Additionally I would put Russia's leader among them, and I would include China's President Xi. I would definitely include the Israeli leader among the passengers and his far-right government. Send them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."
Earlier Comments
This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump specifically.
In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he exhibited "comparable kind of behavior as a male chimpanzee demonstrates when vying for supremacy with another. They posture, they swagger, they portray themselves as much larger and combative than they really are in order to intimidate their rivals."
Leadership Styles
During her final interview, Goodall further explained her understanding of alpha personalities.
"We get, interestingly, two types of alpha. One type succeeds all by aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't last very long. Others do it by using their brains, like a younger individual will just confront a superior one if his companion, often his brother, is with him. And you know, they endure far more extended periods," she explained.
Social Interactions
The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of behavior, and what her detailed observations had revealed to her about hostile actions shown by groups of humans and primates when encountering something they perceived as dangerous, even if no threat really was present.
"Chimps observe an outsider from a neighboring community, and they grow highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they extend and touch another, and they display these faces of anger and fear, and it catches, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and they all become hostile," she explained.
"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Certain displays that grow violent, it spreads among them. Everyone desires to become and join in and become aggressive. They're defending their domain or battling for supremacy."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she considered similar patterns occurred in human beings, Goodall replied: "Likely, in certain situations. But I truly believe that the majority of individuals are decent."
"My main objective is educating future generations of empathetic people, roots and shoots. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, born in London five years before the beginning of the Second World War, equated the fight against the darkness of contemporary politics to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by the prime minister.
"This doesn't imply you don't have moments of depression, but eventually you emerge and say, 'Alright, I'm not going to let them win'," she remarked.
"It's like the Prime Minister in the war, his famous speech, we'll fight them along the shores, we will resist them through the avenues and the cities, then he turned aside to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of broken bottles as that's the only thing we actually possess'."
Final Message
In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered words of encouragement for those resisting governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.
"In current times, when Earth is dark, there remains hope. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you grow apathetic and do nothing," she advised.
"Whenever you want to protect the remaining beauty in this world – if you want to protect our world for coming generations, your grandchildren, later generations – then consider the choices you take every day. As, expanded a million, multiple occasions, minor decisions will generate great change."
