Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Revealed Aspiration to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Cosmic Voyage
After dedicating years observing chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an authority on the hostile behavior of leading males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her passing, the famous primatologist shared her unique solution for handling specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: transporting them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.
Final Documentary Reveals Candid Thoughts
This extraordinary perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was captured in March and preserved secret until after her recent death at 91 years old.
"There are people I don't like, and I wish to place them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the world he's sure he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.
Particular Personalities Targeted
When asked whether Elon Musk, famous for his questionable behavior and associations, would be included, Goodall answered with certainty.
"Yes, definitely. He would be the leader. You can imagine whom I would include on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.
"And then I would add Russia's leader on board, and I would put China's leader. Without question I would add Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his far-right government. Place them all on that vessel and send them off."
Earlier Comments
This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about the former president specifically.
In a previous discussion, she had noted that he displayed "similar type of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when battling for supremacy with another. They're upright, they parade, they project themselves as much larger and aggressive than they may actually be in order to daunt their rivals."
Dominance Patterns
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her analysis of leadership types.
"We see, notably, two categories of leader. One does it all by aggression, and due to their strength and they combat, they don't remain for extended periods. Others do it by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a higher ranking one if his friend, typically a relative, is with him. And as we've seen, they last significantly longer," she explained.
Social Interactions
The renowned scientist also studied the "politicization" of conduct, and what her comprehensive research had shown her about aggressive behaviors shown by human communities and primates when confronted with something they considered threatening, even if no danger really was present.
"Primates observe a stranger from an adjacent group, and they become highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and make physical contact, and they display expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it spreads, and the others absorb that sentiment that this one male has had, and everyone turns aggressive," she explained.
"It transmits easily," she noted. "Some of these demonstrations that become hostile, it sweeps through them. Everyone desires to become and join in and become aggressive. They're guarding their area or fighting for supremacy."
Similar Human Behavior
When asked if she believed comparable behaviors applied to people, Goodall replied: "Probably, in certain situations. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are ethical."
"My biggest hope is educating the upcoming generation of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, a London native five years before the start of the World War II, compared the fight against the darkness of present day politics to England opposing the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by Winston Churchill.
"However, this isn't to say you don't have times of despair, but eventually you emerge and declare, 'OK, I won't allow to allow their success'," she commented.
"It resembles Churchill during the conflict, his renowned address, we shall combat them on the beaches, we'll fight them in the streets and urban areas, then he turned aside to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of broken bottles because that's all we've bloody well got'."
Closing Thoughts
In her concluding remarks, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those combating authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.
"Even today, when the world is difficult, there still is optimism. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you grow apathetic and remain inactive," she recommended.
"Should you desire to save the remaining beauty in this world – should you desire to save the planet for subsequent eras, future family, their offspring – then contemplate the choices you make every day. Because, multiplied countless, a billion times, minor decisions will generate substantial improvement."
