Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Transport Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Space Mission

After dedicating years observing chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an expert on the aggressive tendencies of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.

Posthumous Film Discloses Candid Thoughts

This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was recorded in March and kept secret until after her recently announced death at the age of 91.

"I know persons I dislike, and I want to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and dispatch them to the world he's sure he's going to discover," remarked Goodall during her interview with her interlocutor.

Particular Personalities Targeted

When inquired whether the SpaceX founder, recognized for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be part of this group, Goodall responded with certainty.

"Certainly, without doubt. He'd be the organizer. Picture the people I would place on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and various Trump's dedicated followers," she announced.

"Additionally I would include Russia's leader among them, and I would include China's leader. I would definitely include Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his political allies. Put them all on that spacecraft and send them off."

Past Observations

This was not the first time that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had shared negative views about the political figure specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he displayed "similar type of conduct as a male chimpanzee exhibits when he's competing for leadership with another. They're upright, they parade, they project themselves as really more large and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their competitors."

Leadership Styles

During her final interview, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of dominant individuals.

"We see, interestingly, two types of dominant individual. The first achieves dominance through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't endure very long. Others do it by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will merely oppose a higher ranking one if his ally, frequently a sibling, is with him. And research shows, they last far more extended periods," she clarified.

Group Dynamics

The famous researcher also examined the "politicization" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had taught her about hostile actions shown by human communities and primates when encountering something they viewed as dangerous, although no risk actually existed.

"Chimpanzees encounter an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they grow highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they extend and touch another, and they show expressions of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the others catch that feeling that a single individual has had, and the entire group grows hostile," she detailed.

"It's contagious," she continued. "Some of these demonstrations that grow violent, it sweeps through them. They all want to get involved and become aggressive. They're guarding their domain or fighting for control."

Similar Human Behavior

When questioned if she considered similar behaviors occurred in human beings, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I firmly think that the bulk of humanity are ethical."

"My biggest hope is nurturing this new generation of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. These are difficult times."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London prior to the beginning of the the global conflict, compared the struggle against the darkness of present day politics to Britain standing up Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.

"However, this isn't to say you won't experience periods of sadness, but subsequently you recover and say, 'Alright, I refuse to let them win'," she commented.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his iconic words, we'll fight them at the coastlines, we shall battle them through the avenues and urban areas, afterward he commented to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of broken bottles because that's all we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her last message, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those fighting against political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"Even today, when the world is challenging, there remains hope. Maintain optimism. When faith diminishes, you grow indifferent and take no action," she recommended.

"Whenever you desire to protect the remaining beauty in this world – when you wish to save the planet for coming generations, your descendants, their grandchildren – then contemplate the decisions you take daily. Since, replicated countless, innumerable instances, minor decisions will generate great change."
