Jane Goodall Revealed Desire to Send Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Single-Journey Cosmic Voyage
After devoting her life researching chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the aggressive tendencies of alpha males. In a newly published interview filmed shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unique solution for handling specific people she viewed as exhibiting similar characteristics: transporting them on a non-return journey into the cosmos.
Legacy Interview Reveals Honest Views
This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's mindset emerges from the Netflix film "Final Words", which was captured in March and preserved confidential until after her latest demise at nine decades of life.
"I know persons I don't like, and I would like to send them on a spacecraft and dispatch them to the celestial body he's convinced he'll find," commented Goodall during her discussion with Brad Falchuk.
Specific Individuals Identified
When inquired whether the tech billionaire, recognized for his disputed actions and political alliances, would be included, Goodall replied positively.
"Yes, definitely. He'd be the host. Picture the people I would place on that vessel. In addition to Musk would be Donald Trump and some of Trump's loyal adherents," she declared.
"Additionally I would add Vladimir Putin among them, and I would include China's leader. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister among the passengers and his far-right government. Place them all on that spaceship and dispatch them."
Earlier Comments
This was not the earlier occasion that Goodall, an advocate of conservation efforts, had expressed criticism about the political figure in particular.
In a earlier conversation, she had noted that he displayed "comparable kind of behavior as a dominant primate will show when he's competing for supremacy with another. They stand tall, they strut, they present themselves as really more large and combative than they may actually be in order to frighten their opponents."
Leadership Styles
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall expanded upon her analysis of alpha personalities.
"We get, notably, two types of leader. One does it solely through combat, and due to their strength and they fight, they don't last indefinitely. Others do it by employing intelligence, like an aspiring leader will just confront a higher ranking one if his friend, often his brother, is alongside him. And research shows, they remain much, much longer," she detailed.
Group Dynamics
The celebrated primatologist also examined the "politicization" of conduct, and what her extensive studies had taught her about combative conduct shown by human communities and apes when confronted with something they perceived as threatening, even if no threat really was present.
"Chimps observe an unfamiliar individual from a neighboring community, and they become highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they stretch and touch another, and they show visages of anger and fear, and it spreads, and the others absorb that sentiment that a single individual has had, and everyone turns aggressive," she detailed.
"It's contagious," she noted. "Various exhibitions that turn aggressive, it spreads among them. Everyone desires to participate and engage and turn violent. They're protecting their territory or fighting for control."
Similar Human Behavior
When inquired if she considered comparable patterns applied to people, Goodall replied: "Perhaps, in certain situations. But I truly believe that the majority of individuals are good."
"My main objective is educating this new generation of empathetic people, foundations and growth. But is there sufficient time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."
Historical Comparison
Goodall, a London native shortly before the commencement of the the global conflict, likened the struggle against the darkness of present day politics to England opposing Nazi Germany, and the "determined resistance" shown by the British leader.
"However, this isn't to say you don't have moments of depression, but then you come out and declare, 'Well, I refuse to allow their success'," she commented.
"It's like Churchill in the war, his iconic words, we will oppose them at the coastlines, we will resist them in the streets and the cities, then he turned aside to an associate and reportedly stated, 'and we'll fight them using the fragments of broken bottles as that's the only thing we've bloody well got'."
Parting Words
In her concluding remarks, Goodall provided inspiring thoughts for those fighting against political oppression and the climate emergency.
"In current times, when Earth is dark, there remains optimism. Preserve faith. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and remain inactive," she advised.
"Whenever you desire to protect the remaining beauty across the globe – if you want to save the planet for coming generations, your grandchildren, later generations – then contemplate the choices you take every day. Because, expanded numerous, a billion times, modest choices will create substantial improvement."
