Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Wish to Send Musk and Trump on Single-Journey Space Mission
After dedicating years studying chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist shared her unique solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as showing similar qualities: launching them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.
Legacy Interview Unveils Honest Views
This extraordinary insight into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix production "Last Statements", which was captured in March and preserved private until after her latest demise at nine decades of life.
"There are individuals I don't like, and I would like to place them on a spacecraft and launch them to the celestial body he's sure he'll locate," commented Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.
Named Figures Identified
When asked whether the SpaceX founder, known for his controversial gestures and associations, would be included, Goodall answered positively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He could serve as the host. You can imagine who I'd put on that spacecraft. Together with Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.
"Furthermore I would include Vladimir Putin in there, and I would place Xi Jinping. Without question I would add Benjamin Netanyahu on that journey and his political allies. Send them all on that spacecraft and launch them."
Past Observations
This wasn't the first time that Goodall, a supporter of conservation efforts, had shared negative views about the political figure in particular.
In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he exhibited "similar type of behavior as a male chimpanzee exhibits when battling for dominance with an opponent. They're upright, they swagger, they project themselves as much larger and aggressive than they really are in order to daunt their competitors."
Dominance Patterns
During her posthumous documentary, Goodall elaborated on her comprehension of dominant individuals.
"We see, notably, two kinds of dominant individual. One type succeeds all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't remain very long. The second type succeeds by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will just confront a superior one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they last much, much longer," she clarified.
Group Dynamics
The renowned scientist also analyzed the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her detailed observations had revealed to her about combative conduct shown by people and primates when encountering something they considered hostile, even if no threat truly existed.
"Chimpanzees see a stranger from a nearby tribe, and they grow very stimulated, and their hair erect, and they extend and contact each other, and they display these faces of rage and terror, and it catches, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that one member has had, and they all become combative," she described.
"It transmits easily," she added. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it sweeps through them. Each member wishes to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're guarding their territory or fighting for control."
Similar Human Behavior
When questioned if she thought similar patterns applied to human beings, Goodall responded: "Likely, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that the majority of individuals are ethical."
"My main objective is educating this new generation of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But are we allowing enough time? It's unclear. These are difficult times."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, originally from London prior to the commencement of the Second World War, compared the struggle against the darkness of present day politics to Britain standing up German forces, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by Winston Churchill.
"That doesn't mean you avoid having periods of sadness, but then you come out and declare, 'Alright, I refuse to permit their victory'," she remarked.
"It resembles the leader during the conflict, his renowned address, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we shall battle them along the roads and the cities, then he turned aside to a companion and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them using the fragments of broken bottles as that's the only thing we actually possess'."
Closing Thoughts
In her final address, Goodall offered inspiring thoughts for those fighting against authoritarian control and the environmental crisis.
"Even today, when Earth is difficult, there still is optimism. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and take no action," she recommended.
"Should you want to save the remaining beauty on our planet β if you want to protect our world for coming generations, future family, their grandchildren β then think about the choices you make daily. Because, multiplied countless, multiple occasions, minor decisions will create great change."
