Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Shared Aspiration to Send Musk and Trump on One-Way Space Mission
After dedicating years researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became an expert on the hostile behavior of dominant males. In a recently released interview recorded shortly before her demise, the celebrated primatologist shared her unique solution for dealing with certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: launching them on a one-way journey into the cosmos.
Final Documentary Discloses Frank Opinions
This notable viewpoint into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix production "Final Words", which was recorded in March and kept private until after her recently announced passing at the age of 91.
"I've encountered individuals I don't like, and I want to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the world he's sure he's going to discover," stated Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.
Specific Individuals Mentioned
When inquired whether the SpaceX founder, famous for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be included, Goodall responded affirmatively.
"Certainly, without doubt. He'd be the organizer. You can imagine the people I would place on that vessel. Along with Musk would be Donald Trump and several of Trump's real supporters," she announced.
"Furthermore I would include the Russian president among them, and I would place China's President Xi. I'd certainly put Benjamin Netanyahu among the passengers and his far-right government. Put them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."
Past Observations
This was not the initial instance that Goodall, a supporter of environmental causes, had voiced concerns about the former president especially.
In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he showed "similar type of actions as a dominant primate demonstrates when battling for leadership with a rival. They're upright, they strut, they portray themselves as much larger and hostile than they really are in order to intimidate their opponents."
Alpha Behavior
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her comprehension of leadership types.
"We see, interestingly, two kinds of alpha. One type succeeds all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they fight, they don't remain for extended periods. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a more dominant one if his ally, typically a relative, is alongside him. And research shows, they endure significantly longer," she clarified.
Social Interactions
The famous researcher also studied the "social dimension" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had revealed to her about hostile actions shown by groups of humans and primates when encountering something they considered dangerous, although no threat actually existed.
"Chimpanzees see an outsider from a nearby tribe, and they get highly agitated, and the hair stands out, and they stretch and contact each other, and they show expressions of anger and fear, and it catches, and the remaining members absorb that sentiment that this one male has had, and everyone turns combative," she described.
"It spreads rapidly," she added. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it permeates the group. Everyone desires to become and join in and turn violent. They're guarding their domain or fighting for dominance."
Comparable Human Reactions
When inquired if she believed similar dynamics applied to human beings, Goodall replied: "Probably, on occasion. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are good."
"My biggest hope is nurturing future generations of compassionate citizens, beginnings and development. But do we have time? I'm uncertain. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, a London native prior to the start of the World War II, likened the fight against the darkness of current political landscape to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "unyielding attitude" exhibited by Winston Churchill.
"That doesn't mean you don't have periods of sadness, but then you come out and declare, 'OK, I'm not going to let them win'," she stated.
"It's like the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his famous speech, we will oppose them on the beaches, we'll fight them along the roads and urban areas, then he turned aside to an associate and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of damaged containers because that's all we actually possess'."
Closing Thoughts
In her final address, Goodall offered motivational statements for those resisting governmental suppression and the environmental crisis.
"At present, when the planet is difficult, there remains possibility. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and take no action," she recommended.
"And if you want to protect the existing splendor in this world – if you want to save the planet for coming generations, future family, their grandchildren – then consider the decisions you make every day. As, expanded numerous, a billion times, modest choices will make for substantial improvement."
