Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Launch Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Space Mission

After devoting her life observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of alpha males. In a freshly unveiled interview recorded shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist shared her unconventional solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar qualities: sending them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Legacy Interview Reveals Honest Views

This remarkable insight into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and preserved confidential until after her recent passing at 91 years old.

"I've encountered individuals I don't like, and I would like to place them on a SpaceX vessel and dispatch them to the world he's convinced he'll locate," stated Goodall during her conversation with her interlocutor.

Specific Individuals Targeted

When asked whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his controversial gestures and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall replied affirmatively.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the host. Picture whom I would include on that vessel. Along with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she declared.

"And then I would add the Russian president on board, and I would place China's leader. Without question I would add the Israeli leader on that journey and his political allies. Send them all on that spaceship and send them off."

Previous Criticism

This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump specifically.

In a previous discussion, she had noted that he showed "the same sort of actions as a dominant primate will show when battling for dominance with an opponent. They stand tall, they swagger, they portray themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to frighten their rivals."

Alpha Behavior

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her comprehension of dominant individuals.

"We get, remarkably, two categories of alpha. One type succeeds through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't endure indefinitely. Others do it by using their brains, like a young male will merely oppose a superior one if his ally, often his brother, is with him. And as we've seen, they remain much, much longer," she explained.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also studied the "political aspect" of actions, and what her extensive studies had shown her about hostile actions displayed by groups of humans and apes when encountering something they considered threatening, despite the fact that no risk actually existed.

"Chimpanzees encounter an outsider from an adjacent group, and they grow highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and contact each other, and they've got visages of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the rest catch that feeling that a single individual has had, and the entire group grows aggressive," she explained.

"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Some of these demonstrations that become hostile, it spreads among them. Each member wishes to become and join in and turn violent. They're protecting their area or battling for dominance."

Similar Human Behavior

When inquired if she thought comparable patterns applied to people, Goodall responded: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are decent."

"My main objective is educating this new generation of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, originally from London prior to the start of the Second World War, likened the battle with the difficulties of present day politics to Britain standing up Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.

"This doesn't imply you won't experience moments of depression, but eventually you emerge and state, 'Well, I refuse to allow their success'," she stated.

"It's like the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his famous speech, we shall combat them along the shores, we'll fight them along the roads and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to a companion and was heard to say, 'and we will oppose them at the ends of broken bottles as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Closing Thoughts

In her final address, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those fighting against political oppression and the environmental crisis.

"In current times, when Earth is dark, there continues to be hope. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you turn into indifferent and do nothing," she advised.

"Should you desire to preserve the existing splendor in this world – when you wish to protect our world for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, later generations – then contemplate the actions you take every day. Since, expanded numerous, multiple occasions, modest choices will make for significant transformation."
