Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Revealed Wish to Launch Trump and Musk on Non-Return Space Mission

After devoting her life researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of dominant males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist revealed her unconventional solution for handling certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: sending them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.

Posthumous Film Reveals Candid Thoughts

This extraordinary insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Final Words", which was filmed in March and preserved private until after her recent demise at 91 years old.

"I know persons I'm not fond of, and I would like to send them on a SpaceX vessel and send them all off to the celestial body he's sure he'll find," stated Goodall during her discussion with the interviewer.

Named Figures Identified

When inquired whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be included, Goodall answered affirmatively.

"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the host. Picture the people I would place on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.

"And then I would include the Russian president in there, and I would put China's leader. Without question I would add Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that spacecraft and send them off."

Past Observations

This was not the initial instance that Goodall, an advocate of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump specifically.

In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he showed "similar type of actions as an alpha chimp exhibits when vying for dominance with a rival. They're upright, they strut, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and aggressive than they truly are in order to intimidate their opponents."

Alpha Behavior

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

"We observe, notably, two categories of alpha. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't endure very long. Another group achieves dominance by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a more dominant one if his ally, typically a relative, is with him. And as we've seen, they last far more extended periods," she clarified.

Collective Behavior

The famous researcher also examined the "social dimension" of actions, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about combative conduct exhibited by groups of humans and chimpanzees when faced with something they considered dangerous, even if no risk really was present.

"Primates observe an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they get highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they extend and make physical contact, and they show visages of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the rest absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and everyone turns hostile," she detailed.

"It transmits easily," she continued. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. Each member wishes to become and join in and grow hostile. They're defending their territory or competing for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When asked if she believed similar patterns were present in humans, Goodall responded: "Likely, in certain situations. But I firmly think that most people are good."

"My primary aspiration is raising this new generation of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But are we allowing enough time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, born in London five years before the beginning of the Second World War, likened the battle with the difficulties of present day politics to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by Winston Churchill.

"However, this isn't to say you won't experience periods of sadness, but eventually you emerge and declare, 'OK, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she remarked.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his renowned address, we shall combat them on the beaches, we shall battle them through the avenues and the cities, afterward he commented to a friend and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them using the fragments of shattered glass since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Closing Thoughts

In her concluding remarks, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those resisting authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.

"Even today, when Earth is difficult, there continues to be hope. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you become apathetic and do nothing," she recommended.

"Should you wish to save the existing splendor across the globe – when you wish to protect our world for subsequent eras, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then consider the choices you take every day. Because, multiplied numerous, multiple occasions, minor decisions will generate significant transformation."
