Technology is such a wonderful thing, isn't it? I also have one of those friends and the interesting things that come out of his lab are like magic. When you don't understand it, it seems like such a mysterious thing. I'm a learned man but my specialities definitely lean towards different kind of intellectual theorems.
Ah, a spy then. Who do you work for? The CIA, FBI, some other branch of the government? [ Charles' feelings towards the government aren't exactly the fondest right now, but he's trying to look past this. There is one CIA spy that he thinks very fondly of after all. ]
I find it interesting that you suggest that monogamy might be instinctive to human condition. Most people, I find, would perhaps suggest otherwise, that monogamy requires work and dedication and to give into baser instincts is what our natures might dictate us to do. I suppose one could make a statement that it depends on a person. Though, I wonder if we weren't brought up to respect and honour the institution of monogamy, what would the mental landscape look like then?
I can only respond to that question from a very personal point of view and I think it is our nature to dally and investigate and try new things, but love and affection makes us reel in our natural impulses in hopes of not hurting the people we love.
