Jane Goodall Shared Wish to Launch Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Non-Return Trip to Space

After spending decades studying chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview recorded shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unusual solution for handling particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a non-return journey into space.

Posthumous Film Unveils Honest Views

This remarkable perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was captured in March and maintained confidential until after her recently announced passing at 91 years old.

"There are persons I don't like, and I would like to place them on a spacecraft and launch them to the planet he's certain he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her discussion with Brad Falchuk.

Named Figures Identified

When questioned whether Elon Musk, famous for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be included, Goodall responded positively.

"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the host. Picture the people I would place on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.

"Furthermore I would include the Russian president in there, and I would place China's President Xi. I would definitely include Benjamin Netanyahu in there and his far-right government. Put them all on that vessel and launch them."

Earlier Comments

This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about the political figure specifically.

In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he exhibited "similar type of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when battling for dominance with an opponent. They're upright, they parade, they project themselves as much larger and combative than they really are in order to daunt their opponents."

Dominance Patterns

During her posthumous documentary, Goodall expanded upon her understanding of leadership types.

"We get, notably, two kinds of dominant individual. The first achieves dominance through pure aggression, and since they're powerful and they combat, they don't remain indefinitely. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a younger individual will just confront a more dominant one if his companion, typically a relative, is with him. And you know, they last much, much longer," she explained.

Collective Behavior

The famous researcher also examined the "politicization" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about aggressive behaviors displayed by people and apes when encountering something they considered threatening, even if no threat actually existed.

"Chimps see an unfamiliar individual from a neighboring community, and they become very stimulated, and their hair erect, and they stretch and make physical contact, and they've got visages of rage and terror, and it spreads, and the rest absorb that sentiment that this one male has had, and they all become combative," she explained.

"It transmits easily," she noted. "Certain displays that grow violent, it sweeps through them. Everyone desires to get involved and grow hostile. They're protecting their domain or battling for dominance."

Human Parallels

When asked if she believed comparable behaviors applied to humans, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are good."

"My main objective is raising the upcoming generation of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But do we have time? It's unclear. These are difficult times."

Historical Perspective

Goodall, born in London shortly before the beginning of the World War II, compared the fight against the challenges of current political landscape to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" exhibited by the prime minister.

"That doesn't mean you don't have moments of depression, but eventually you emerge and state, 'Alright, I won't allow to let them win'," she remarked.

"It's similar to the Prime Minister in the war, his renowned address, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we shall battle them through the avenues and the cities, subsequently he remarked to a friend and allegedly commented, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of broken bottles as that's the only thing we truly have'."

Parting Words

In her final address, Goodall offered motivational statements for those resisting political oppression and the ecological disaster.

"At present, when the world is difficult, there continues to be hope. Maintain optimism. When faith diminishes, you turn into indifferent and remain inactive," she advised.

"And if you wish to preserve the remaining beauty in this world – when you wish to protect our world for coming generations, future family, later generations – then think about the choices you make daily. As, replicated numerous, a billion times, modest choices will create great change."
