Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on One-Way Trip to Space

After devoting her life observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of leading males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist shared her unconventional solution for addressing specific people she viewed as showing similar traits: sending them on a one-way journey into outer space.

Legacy Interview Discloses Candid Thoughts

This notable insight into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix documentary "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and maintained secret until after her recently announced demise at the age of 91.

"I've encountered persons I dislike, and I would like to put them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the celestial body he's certain he'll find," commented Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.

Named Figures Targeted

When asked whether the SpaceX founder, known for his controversial gestures and associations, would be among them, Goodall replied positively.

"Oh, absolutely. He could serve as the organizer. Envision who I'd put on that spacecraft. Together with Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.

"Furthermore I would put Russia's leader among them, and I would put China's leader. I would definitely include the Israeli leader among the passengers and his far-right government. Send them all on that vessel and send them off."

Previous Criticism

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

In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he displayed "similar type of conduct as a male chimpanzee exhibits when battling for supremacy with another. They posture, they strut, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and hostile than they really are in order to frighten their opponents."

Leadership Styles

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall expanded upon her comprehension of alpha personalities.

"We get, remarkably, two kinds of dominant individual. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't endure for extended periods. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like a younger individual will just confront a superior one if his companion, frequently a sibling, is with him. And research shows, they remain significantly longer," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also examined the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her comprehensive research had shown her about combative conduct shown by groups of humans and apes when faced with something they considered hostile, although no risk truly existed.

"Primates see a stranger from an adjacent group, and they grow very stimulated, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they show expressions of rage and terror, and it catches, and the rest catch that feeling that a single individual has had, and everyone turns hostile," she explained.

"It's contagious," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. Each member wishes to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're protecting their territory or fighting for supremacy."

Similar Human Behavior

When inquired if she considered comparable behaviors applied to human beings, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are ethical."

"My primary aspiration is raising this new generation of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, a London native five years before the start of the Second World War, likened the fight against the challenges of current political landscape to Britain standing up German forces, and the "unyielding attitude" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"That doesn't mean you avoid having times of despair, but eventually you emerge and say, 'Well, I refuse to let them win'," she stated.

"It's similar to the leader throughout the battle, his iconic words, we will oppose them along the shores, we will resist them in the streets and metropolitan centers, afterward he commented to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of shattered glass since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Closing Thoughts

In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered motivational statements for those resisting authoritarian control and the ecological disaster.

"In current times, when Earth is dark, there continues to be optimism. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you turn into apathetic and take no action," she recommended.

"Whenever you wish to preserve the existing splendor on our planet – should you desire to save the planet for subsequent eras, future family, their grandchildren – then consider the actions you make every day. Because, replicated countless, innumerable instances, minor decisions will make for great change."
