I find myself just sort of nodding dumbly because this is exactly what I've wanted to say, except far more eloquent than I ever could. It does remind of what the first model of Leoben told Adama in the mini: that, despite the trappings of civilization and progress that convince us that we are "good" and "upstanding" and "empathetic," human beings were still one step away from beating each to a pulp with clubs. Hobbesian, almost, if you squint hard enough.
