Primatologist Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Space Mission

After dedicating years observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for handling particular figures she viewed as displaying similar qualities: sending them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.

Legacy Interview Reveals Candid Thoughts

This extraordinary perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was captured in March and preserved private until after her recently announced passing at the age of 91.

"There are individuals I'm not fond of, and I would like to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the celestial body he's convinced he'll find," remarked Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.

Named Figures Identified

When questioned whether the tech billionaire, famous for his questionable behavior and connections, would be part of this group, Goodall replied affirmatively.

"Yes, definitely. He would be the leader. Picture the people I would place on that spacecraft. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.

"Additionally I would include Vladimir Putin in there, and I would include Xi Jinping. I would definitely include the Israeli leader among the passengers and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and launch them."

Previous Criticism

This was not the first time that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the former president especially.

In a 2022 interview, she had remarked that he showed "similar type of actions as a dominant primate demonstrates when battling for supremacy with an opponent. They stand tall, they parade, they project themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they truly are in order to intimidate their rivals."

Dominance Patterns

During her final interview, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of alpha personalities.

"We observe, remarkably, two types of alpha. One does it solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't remain for extended periods. The second type succeeds by utilizing strategy, like a young male will just confront a superior one if his companion, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they last significantly longer," she detailed.

Collective Behavior

The renowned scientist also examined the "social dimension" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had shown her about hostile actions displayed by groups of humans and chimpanzees when encountering something they viewed as hostile, even if no threat really was present.

"Chimpanzees see a stranger from a neighboring community, and they grow all excited, and their hair erect, and they extend and contact each other, and they display visages of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the others catch that feeling that one member has had, and everyone turns hostile," she detailed.

"It spreads rapidly," she continued. "Certain displays that grow violent, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to get involved and become aggressive. They're guarding their domain or fighting for supremacy."

Similar Human Behavior

When inquired if she believed the same dynamics occurred in people, Goodall answered: "Likely, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that the majority of individuals are good."

"My biggest hope is nurturing the upcoming generation of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But do we have time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London prior to the commencement of the Second World War, equated the battle with the difficulties of contemporary politics to Britain standing up Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" exhibited by the British leader.

"However, this isn't to say you won't experience periods of sadness, but then you come out and say, 'Alright, I refuse to permit their victory'," she remarked.

"It resembles Churchill during the conflict, his renowned address, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we shall battle them along the roads and metropolitan centers, subsequently he remarked to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them at the ends of broken bottles as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Final Message

In her final address, Goodall shared motivational statements for those fighting against governmental suppression and the environmental crisis.

"In current times, when Earth is difficult, there still is optimism. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you turn into apathetic and do nothing," she advised.

"Should you want to save the remaining beauty on our planet – when you wish to preserve Earth for the future generations, future family, their offspring – then consider the choices you implement each day. Because, multiplied countless, a billion times, modest choices will generate great change."
