Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Expressed Aspiration to Transport Musk and Trump on One-Way Trip to Space
After devoting her life studying chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became an expert on the combative nature of alpha males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist shared her unusual solution for dealing with particular figures she viewed as showing similar characteristics: transporting them on a permanent journey into outer space.
Posthumous Film Discloses Frank Opinions
This notable perspective into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix documentary "Last Statements", which was filmed in March and kept confidential until after her recent passing at the age of 91.
"I've encountered people I don't like, and I want to place them on a spacecraft and send them all off to the planet he's convinced he'll locate," stated Goodall during her conversation with the interviewer.
Specific Individuals Targeted
When questioned whether the tech billionaire, famous for his controversial gestures and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall answered with certainty.
"Oh, absolutely. He would be the organizer. Picture who I'd put on that vessel. In addition to Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.
"Additionally I would include Vladimir Putin among them, and I would put Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put the Israeli leader among the passengers and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."
Earlier Comments
This was not the first time that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had expressed criticism about the political figure especially.
In a earlier conversation, she had remarked that he exhibited "similar type of actions as an alpha chimp demonstrates when battling for leadership with another. They stand tall, they parade, they portray themselves as much larger and aggressive than they may actually be in order to frighten their rivals."
Dominance Patterns
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall expanded upon her comprehension of dominant individuals.
"We see, remarkably, two kinds of leader. The first achieves dominance solely through combat, and due to their strength and they battle, they don't remain very long. Another group achieves dominance by utilizing strategy, like a younger individual will only challenge a superior one if his friend, frequently a sibling, is supporting him. And research shows, they last far more extended periods," she detailed.
Social Interactions
The famous researcher also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her detailed observations had taught her about hostile actions displayed by groups of humans and chimpanzees when confronted with something they considered hostile, although no danger truly existed.
"Primates observe an unfamiliar individual from a nearby tribe, and they become all excited, and their fur bristles, and they reach out and touch another, and they've got these faces of anger and fear, and it catches, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and the entire group grows combative," she explained.
"It's contagious," she added. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. Everyone desires to participate and engage and grow hostile. They're defending their territory or battling for supremacy."
Similar Human Behavior
When asked if she considered comparable behaviors applied to humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, in certain situations. But I strongly feel that most people are ethical."
"My main objective is nurturing this new generation of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. It's a really grim time."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, a London native five years before the beginning of the World War II, likened the fight 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 don't have times of despair, but subsequently you recover and state, 'Well, I won't allow to permit their victory'," she stated.
"It's similar to the leader during the conflict, his renowned address, we shall combat them along the shores, we shall battle them along the roads and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to a friend and reportedly stated, 'and we will oppose them with the remnants of broken bottles because that's all we've bloody well got'."
Parting Words
In her last message, Goodall shared words of encouragement for those combating governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.
"Even today, when the world is difficult, there remains possibility. Maintain optimism. If you lose hope, you become indifferent and take no action," she recommended.
"Should you wish to preserve what is still beautiful on our planet ā if you want to save the planet for coming generations, future family, their grandchildren ā then think about the decisions you take every day. Because, multiplied a million, a billion times, modest choices will make for substantial improvement."
