Imagine an alien observer trying to understand why we do the completely "unhinged" things we do, like why we enslave ourselves to alarm clocks, shake hands, or even why do we hoard our own trauma.

Every day, I take one human behavior and try to defend it through empirical data, logical constructs, and philosophical or religious perspectives anchored in our collective lore. I capture these daily part of my linlore online project.

Any suggestions for what the next question should be? What's the human behavior that makes absolutely no sense to you?

I'm doing these WaldenWeek challenges and this week's "Energy Ration" is all about simulating energy scarcity for those of us who have it abundantly. The rules are simple:

• Start Monday with your smartphone battery at 100%.
• You are allowed exactly 3 additional charges for the entire week.
• You cannot leave the phone plugged in.

If I fail, I'm donating $20 to SolarAid to help combat actual energy poverty.

Did anyone try this approach?
