Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Desire to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage
After devoting her life studying chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of alpha males. In a newly published interview documented shortly before her death, the renowned primatologist shared her unconventional solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: launching them on a one-way journey into outer space.
Final Documentary Reveals Candid Thoughts
This remarkable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was recorded in March and kept private until after her latest passing at nine decades of life.
"There are people I dislike, and I want to place them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the world he's certain he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.
Particular Personalities Mentioned
When asked whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his disputed actions and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall replied positively.
"Oh, absolutely. He would be the leader. Picture who I'd put on that vessel. Together with Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"Furthermore I would add the Russian president on board, and I would include China's leader. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister in there and his administration. Put them all on that spaceship and launch them."
Past Observations
This wasn't the initial instance that Goodall, an advocate of environmental causes, had shared negative views about Donald Trump especially.
In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he displayed "comparable kind of actions as a dominant primate exhibits when vying for supremacy with another. They posture, they swagger, they project themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to intimidate their competitors."
Dominance Patterns
During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of dominant individuals.
"We observe, notably, two types of leader. One does it all by aggression, and because they're strong and they combat, they don't remain indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will merely oppose a more dominant one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they endure much, much longer," she clarified.
Social Interactions
The famous researcher also studied the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had shown her about hostile actions shown by human communities and primates when encountering something they perceived as threatening, despite the fact that no danger really was present.
"Chimps observe a stranger from a nearby tribe, and they get highly agitated, and their fur bristles, and they stretch and contact each other, and they display these faces of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and they all become combative," she described.
"It transmits easily," she added. "Certain displays that become hostile, it sweeps through them. They all want to participate and engage and become aggressive. They're defending their territory or competing for control."
Human Parallels
When asked if she thought similar dynamics occurred in humans, Goodall responded: "Likely, sometimes yes. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are ethical."
"My biggest hope is nurturing this new generation of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But do we have time? I don't know. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Context
Goodall, originally from London shortly before the beginning of the the global conflict, likened the fight against the darkness of contemporary politics to Britain standing up German forces, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by Winston Churchill.
"That doesn't mean you avoid having periods of sadness, but eventually you emerge and say, 'Alright, I refuse to permit their victory'," she remarked.
"It resembles the Prime Minister in the war, his famous speech, we shall combat them on the beaches, we'll fight them along the roads and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of shattered glass because that's all we've bloody well got'."
Parting Words
In her final address, Goodall provided motivational statements for those resisting governmental suppression and the climate emergency.
"In current times, when the planet is difficult, there still is optimism. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you turn into indifferent and take no action," she recommended.
"Whenever you want to protect the existing splendor on our planet – should you desire to save the planet for subsequent eras, future family, later generations – then think about the choices you implement every day. Since, replicated a million, a billion times, modest choices will make for significant transformation."
