: I can recall this fact also, they didn't not reach the space faring age, but
: they were said to be well into or even well beyond industrial age tech. I
: basically saw it as the level humans had achieved in the 80's or early
: 90's, but instead of things like razor scooters they invented scooters
: that were basically giant razors. Then they did the thing that everyone
: feared the most in the cold war days, and is still a legitimate fear today
: with countries that are less than stable going nuclear.

: After that I imagine any decree of civility the Jirahlnae(sp?) established(no
: way the current stereotypical Brute personality could have attained such
: an advanced lifestyle) was like a lit match in the hurricane of
: Jirahlnae's primal instinct that was completely unrestrained from any sort
: of civilized society. So they've basically being Neanderthallin' it up
: until present. At some point the Covenant came along and was like, check
: it, super advanced gizmos and you can even just keep on being your caveman
: selves.

: Of course this is probably far from correct, but with the knowledge of Brutes
: that I have and also knowing that even modern human civilization is
: fragile and easily gives way to our primal, barbaric origins. I recall the
: aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was used as a very current example of this
: fact, something like only 3 days into that catastrophe rioting, looting,
: every man for himself mindsets, and other crazy shenanigans. None of that
: is exact, it was several years ago that I heard this info when I was
: watching something on civilizations or something.

: Anyone who is educated on the topic mind telling giving their 2 cents on how
: far off I probably am?

48 hours I believe is when people stopped helping each other and began running their own show.

I'd also love to see 80's cold war Brutes.
