Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Transport Trump and Musk on One-Way Cosmic Voyage
After dedicating years researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became an authority on the combative nature of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.
Legacy Interview Reveals Honest Views
This remarkable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was captured in March and maintained secret until after her recently announced death at nine decades of life.
"I know individuals I'm not fond of, and I wish to place them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the world he's convinced he'll find," commented Goodall during her interview with the interviewer.
Specific Individuals Identified
When questioned whether Elon Musk, recognized for his questionable behavior and associations, would be among them, Goodall replied with certainty.
"Certainly, without doubt. He'd be the organizer. Picture the people I would place on that spaceship. In addition to Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"Additionally I would put the Russian president in there, and I would put Xi Jinping. Without question I would add the Israeli leader in there and his administration. Put them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."
Previous Criticism
This was not the first time that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about Donald Trump specifically.
In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he showed "comparable kind of behavior as a dominant primate demonstrates when vying for dominance with another. They posture, they parade, they project themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they truly are in order to intimidate their rivals."
Alpha Behavior
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall elaborated on her understanding of alpha personalities.
"We get, remarkably, two types of alpha. The first achieves dominance through pure aggression, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't remain indefinitely. Others do it by employing intelligence, like a young male will merely oppose a superior one if his companion, typically a relative, is supporting him. And as we've seen, they remain much, much longer," she detailed.
Group Dynamics
The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "political aspect" of conduct, and what her detailed observations had revealed to her about combative conduct exhibited by people and chimpanzees when faced with something they perceived as threatening, despite the fact that no danger truly existed.
"Primates observe an unfamiliar individual from an adjacent group, and they get very stimulated, and their hair erect, and they extend and make physical contact, and they've got expressions of hostility and apprehension, and it catches, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that one member has had, and everyone turns combative," she detailed.
"It's contagious," she noted. "Certain displays that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. They all want to get involved and turn violent. They're guarding their domain or competing for dominance."
Human Parallels
When questioned if she thought comparable dynamics were present in humans, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, sometimes yes. But I truly believe that the majority of individuals are ethical."
"My primary aspiration is educating future generations of caring individuals, beginnings and development. But are we allowing enough time? I don't know. These are difficult times."
Historical Context
Goodall, originally from London shortly before the start of the the global conflict, equated the struggle against the darkness of current political landscape to the UK resisting Nazi Germany, and the "unyielding attitude" shown by the prime minister.
"This doesn't imply you don't have periods of sadness, but then you come out and declare, 'Alright, I'm not going to let them win'," she remarked.
"It's similar to the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his famous speech, we shall combat them along the shores, we will resist them along the roads and metropolitan centers, then he turned aside to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them with the remnants of damaged containers because that's all we've bloody well got'."
Parting Words
In her last message, Goodall provided words of encouragement for those combating political oppression and the environmental crisis.
"In current times, when Earth is challenging, there still is possibility. Maintain optimism. When faith diminishes, you grow indifferent and take no action," she advised.
"And if you desire to preserve what is still beautiful across the globe – if you want to protect our world for the future generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren – then contemplate the decisions you make daily. Because, multiplied countless, innumerable instances, even small actions will generate significant transformation."
