Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Revealed Aspiration to Send Musk and Trump on One-Way Cosmic Voyage
After devoting her life researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of dominant males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as displaying similar traits: launching them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.
Posthumous Film Discloses Candid Thoughts
This extraordinary insight into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix production "Famous Last Words", which was recorded in March and kept confidential until after her recently announced demise at 91 years old.
"There are persons I'm not fond of, and I would like to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and send them all off to the celestial body he's convinced he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.
Named Figures Mentioned
When asked whether the tech billionaire, famous for his questionable behavior and connections, would be among them, Goodall answered positively.
"Yes, definitely. He'd be the organizer. Envision whom I would include on that spacecraft. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's dedicated followers," she stated.
"Additionally I would include Vladimir Putin in there, and I would place Xi Jinping. Without question I would add the Israeli leader in there and his far-right government. Send them all on that spaceship and send them off."
Earlier Comments
This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about Donald Trump specifically.
In a 2022 interview, she had remarked that he exhibited "the same sort of actions as a dominant primate demonstrates when vying for supremacy with an opponent. They're upright, they strut, they portray themselves as much larger and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their opponents."
Leadership Styles
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her comprehension of alpha personalities.
"We get, remarkably, two types of dominant individual. One does it through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't endure very long. The second type succeeds by using their brains, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a superior one if his companion, frequently a sibling, is with him. And you know, they endure significantly longer," she explained.
Collective Behavior
The celebrated primatologist also studied the "politicization" of conduct, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about hostile actions shown by people and apes when encountering something they viewed as threatening, despite the fact that no danger truly existed.
"Chimps encounter an unfamiliar individual from a neighboring community, and they become all excited, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they display visages of hostility and apprehension, and it spreads, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that one member has had, and they all become combative," she detailed.
"It's contagious," she noted. "Some of these demonstrations that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. They all want to become and join in and grow hostile. They're guarding their territory or competing for control."
Human Parallels
When asked if she thought comparable behaviors occurred in human beings, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are decent."
"My biggest hope is raising future generations of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Context
Goodall, born in London shortly before the commencement of the Second World War, equated the struggle against the darkness of current political landscape to the UK resisting German forces, and the "spirit of obstinance" exhibited by the British leader.
"This doesn't imply you won't experience times of despair, but subsequently you recover and say, 'Alright, I'm not going to permit their victory'," she remarked.
"It's like the leader during the conflict, his renowned address, we will oppose them on the beaches, we shall battle them through the avenues and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to an associate and was heard to say, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of shattered glass as that's the only thing we truly have'."
Final Message
In her last message, Goodall offered words of encouragement for those resisting governmental suppression and the climate emergency.
"Even today, when the world is difficult, there remains optimism. Don't lose hope. Should optimism fade, you grow apathetic and do nothing," she counseled.
"And if you want to protect the existing splendor on our planet – if you want to preserve Earth for coming generations, your grandchildren, later generations – then consider the decisions you take each day. Because, multiplied countless, innumerable instances, modest choices will make for great change."
