Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Transport Musk and Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space
After spending decades studying chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the hostile behavior of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview recorded shortly before her death, the famous primatologist revealed her unique solution for handling particular figures she viewed as showing similar qualities: transporting them on a permanent journey into outer space.
Legacy Interview Discloses Candid Thoughts
This notable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and kept private until after her recent death at nine decades of life.
"There are people I dislike, and I wish to send them on a SpaceX vessel and dispatch them to the planet he's sure he'll locate," stated Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.
Specific Individuals Identified
When asked whether Elon Musk, recognized for his questionable behavior and political alliances, would be included, Goodall responded affirmatively.
"Yes, definitely. He'd be the organizer. Envision who I'd put on that vessel. Along with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she stated.
"And then I would put Russia's leader among them, and I would put Xi Jinping. I would definitely include the Israeli leader in there and his administration. Send them all on that vessel and launch them."
Earlier Comments
This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a supporter of environmental causes, had expressed criticism about the political figure in particular.
In a previous discussion, she had remarked that he exhibited "comparable kind of conduct as an alpha chimp exhibits when battling for leadership with an opponent. They're upright, they strut, they present themselves as really more large and aggressive than they truly are in order to intimidate their competitors."
Dominance Patterns
During her final interview, Goodall further explained her comprehension of alpha personalities.
"We get, remarkably, two categories of dominant individual. One does it solely through combat, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't last for extended periods. The second type succeeds by utilizing strategy, like a young male will only challenge a higher ranking one if his companion, often his brother, is alongside him. And as we've seen, they last significantly longer," she explained.
Social Interactions
The renowned scientist also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about hostile actions displayed by groups of humans and chimpanzees when confronted with something they considered threatening, although no danger truly existed.
"Chimpanzees encounter a stranger from a neighboring community, and they become highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and contact each other, and they display these faces of hostility and apprehension, and it transmits, and the remaining members catch that feeling that a single individual has had, and everyone turns aggressive," she described.
"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Certain displays that grow violent, it permeates the group. Each member wishes to participate and engage and turn violent. They're guarding their area or competing for control."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she believed the same dynamics occurred in human beings, Goodall answered: "Likely, on occasion. But I truly believe that most people are ethical."
"My primary aspiration is raising this new generation of empathetic people, beginnings and development. But do we have time? It's unclear. It's a really grim time."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, a London native five years before the commencement of the World War II, likened the struggle against the challenges of current political landscape to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "spirit of obstinance" shown by the British leader.
"That doesn't mean you won't experience times of despair, but subsequently you recover and state, 'OK, I'm not going to let them win'," she stated.
"It's similar to Churchill throughout the battle, his iconic words, we'll fight them along the shores, we shall battle them in the streets and the cities, then he turned aside to an associate and was heard to say, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of shattered glass because that's all we've bloody well got'."
Closing Thoughts
In her last message, Goodall provided motivational statements for those combating political oppression and the environmental crisis.
"Even today, when the planet is challenging, there remains optimism. Maintain optimism. Should optimism fade, you become apathetic and take no action," she recommended.
"Should you desire to preserve the remaining beauty across the globe – when you wish to preserve Earth for the future generations, future family, their offspring – then think about the actions you make every day. As, replicated countless, multiple occasions, minor decisions will generate great change."
