Renowned scientist Jane Goodall Revealed Wish to Launch Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Cosmic Voyage
After spending decades studying chimpanzee behavior, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of leading males. In a freshly unveiled interview documented shortly before her passing, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unconventional solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as showing similar traits: sending them on a one-way journey into outer space.
Final Documentary Unveils Candid Thoughts
This extraordinary perspective into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix film "Last Statements", which was captured in March and kept confidential until after her recently announced passing at 91 years old.
"I know individuals I don't like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and send them all off to the planet he's sure he'll locate," commented Goodall during her conversation with Brad Falchuk.
Specific Individuals Targeted
When questioned whether Elon Musk, recognized for his controversial gestures and associations, would be among them, Goodall replied affirmatively.
"Oh, absolutely. He could serve as the organizer. Envision the people I would place on that vessel. Together with Musk would be Trump and various Trump's loyal adherents," she stated.
"Furthermore I would add Vladimir Putin on board, and I would put Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his administration. Send them all on that spacecraft and dispatch them."
Previous Criticism
This wasn't the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of ecological preservation, had voiced concerns about the political figure especially.
In a earlier conversation, she had observed that he showed "similar type of actions as a dominant primate demonstrates when battling for supremacy with another. They posture, they parade, they portray themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their opponents."
Alpha Behavior
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall expanded upon her understanding of dominant individuals.
"We see, interestingly, two types of dominant individual. One does it through pure aggression, and because they're strong and they battle, they don't last for extended periods. Another group achieves dominance by using their brains, like a young male will only challenge a more dominant one if his friend, often his brother, is with him. And research shows, they endure much, much longer," she explained.
Group Dynamics
The celebrated primatologist also studied the "political aspect" of behavior, and what her comprehensive research had shown her about hostile actions exhibited by groups of humans and apes when confronted with something they considered hostile, although no danger truly existed.
"Chimpanzees encounter an unfamiliar individual from a neighboring community, and they grow highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they reach out and make physical contact, and they show these faces of rage and terror, and it transmits, and the others adopt that emotion that a single individual has had, and they all become combative," she explained.
"It's contagious," she continued. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it spreads among them. Everyone desires to become and join in and grow hostile. They're defending their territory or competing for control."
Human Parallels
When inquired if she thought comparable behaviors occurred in humans, Goodall responded: "Probably, sometimes yes. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are ethical."
"My biggest hope is nurturing the upcoming generation of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But do we have time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."
Historical Perspective
Goodall, born in London prior to the start of the Second World War, compared the fight against the difficulties of current political landscape to the UK resisting the Third Reich, and the "unyielding attitude" displayed by the British leader.
"That doesn't mean you won't experience moments of depression, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'OK, I refuse to let them win'," she remarked.
"It's like Churchill in the war, his renowned address, we'll fight them along the shores, we'll fight them through the avenues and the cities, afterward he commented to a friend and was heard to say, 'and we shall combat them at the ends of shattered glass as that's the only thing we truly have'."
Closing Thoughts
In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided motivational statements for those resisting governmental suppression and the climate emergency.
"Even today, when the world is challenging, there still is hope. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and remain inactive," she counseled.
"Should you wish to preserve the existing splendor across the globe – should you desire to save the planet for the future generations, your descendants, later generations – then think about the choices you take daily. Because, replicated a million, multiple occasions, modest choices will make for substantial improvement."
