After dedicating years researching chimpanzee actions, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of dominant males. In a freshly unveiled interview filmed shortly before her demise, the renowned primatologist disclosed her unique solution for dealing with specific people she viewed as displaying similar characteristics: transporting them on a permanent journey into the cosmos.
This extraordinary viewpoint into Goodall's philosophy emerges from the Netflix documentary "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and maintained private until after her recent passing at the age of 91.
"I've encountered individuals I don't like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and launch them to the celestial body he's sure he's going to discover," commented Goodall during her interview with Brad Falchuk.
When asked whether the SpaceX founder, known for his controversial gestures and associations, would be among them, Goodall replied positively.
"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the organizer. Envision the people I would place on that spacecraft. In addition to Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's dedicated followers," she declared.
"And then I would add Vladimir Putin on board, and I would put Xi Jinping. I would definitely include Israel's prime minister on that journey and his political allies. Send them all on that vessel and dispatch them."
This was not the first time that Goodall, a champion of conservation efforts, had voiced concerns about the former president especially.
In a 2022 interview, she had noted that he exhibited "comparable kind of actions as a dominant primate will show when battling for dominance with an opponent. They're upright, they swagger, they project themselves as really more large and hostile than they may actually be in order to intimidate their competitors."
During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her understanding of alpha personalities.
"We observe, remarkably, two categories of leader. The first achieves dominance all by aggression, and because they're strong and they fight, they don't remain for extended periods. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like a younger individual will just confront a higher ranking one if his friend, often his brother, is with him. And research shows, they last far more extended periods," she explained.
The celebrated primatologist also analyzed the "social dimension" of actions, and what her comprehensive research had shown her about hostile actions shown by groups of humans and primates when encountering something they considered threatening, even if no risk truly existed.
"Primates observe a stranger from a neighboring community, and they become highly agitated, and their hair erect, and they stretch and touch another, and they've got visages of rage and terror, and it spreads, and the remaining members catch that feeling that this one male has had, and everyone turns aggressive," she explained.
"It's contagious," she added. "Certain displays that grow violent, it spreads among them. They all want to participate and engage and become aggressive. They're guarding their territory or competing for control."
When questioned if she thought similar patterns applied to people, Goodall answered: "Perhaps, on occasion. But I strongly feel that the bulk of humanity are decent."
"My biggest hope is raising this new generation of caring individuals, foundations and growth. But do we have time? It's unclear. We face challenging circumstances."
Goodall, born in London shortly before the commencement of the World War II, compared the battle with the challenges of present day politics to Britain standing up the Third Reich, and the "determined resistance" displayed by the British leader.
"However, this isn't to say you won't experience moments of depression, but then you come out and state, 'OK, I refuse to let them win'," she commented.
"It's like the Prime Minister throughout the battle, his famous speech, we'll fight them along the shores, we will resist them along the roads and the cities, afterward he commented to a companion and allegedly commented, 'and we shall combat them with the remnants of broken bottles as that's the only thing we actually possess'."
In her final address, Goodall offered motivational statements for those combating governmental suppression and the ecological disaster.
"At present, when the planet is difficult, there still is possibility. Preserve faith. Should optimism fade, you grow apathetic and remain inactive," she advised.
"Should you wish to preserve the existing splendor on our planet – should you desire to save the planet for coming generations, your grandchildren, later generations – then think about the choices you implement daily. As, expanded a million, a billion times, even small actions will generate significant transformation."
