"Absurdity is related to extremes in bad reasoning or pointlessness in reasoning; ridiculousness, extremes of incongruous juxtaposition: resulting in laughter, ridicule; and nonsense due to a lack of meaningfulness. Juxtaposing is the process of placing (somewhat sinilar, different things) side by side (as to compare them or contrast them or to create an interesting or unique effect)
Whereas, Juxtaposed Absurdism is a concept in philosophy related to the notion of a rational absurdity existing amoung or between objects, systems and relationships, plus conbinations thereof, providing for the co-existence of contradictory realities, or uniquely discovered complimentary realities, or various infinite permutations of both, in either form or substance" - II Nuovo Picasso, 2019
" Think business is all about rational thought and logic? Think again -- and to find the biggest, best ideas, start thinking way outside the box."
The Best Ideas Are the Ones That Make the Least Sense
Imagine that you are sitting in the boardroom of a major global drinks company, charged with producing a new product that will rival the position of Coca-Cola as the world’s second-most-popular cold nonalcoholic drink.
How would you respond? The first thing I would say, unless I were in a particularly mischievous mood, is something like this: “We need to produce a drink that tastes nicer than Coke, that costs less than Coke, and comes in a really big bottle so people get great value for money.” What I’m fairly sure nobody would say is this: “Hey, let’s try marketing a really expensive drink that comes in a tiny can…and tastes kind of disgusting.” Yet that is exactly what one company did. And by doing so, they launched a soft-drink brand that would indeed go on to be a worthy rival to Coca-Cola. That drink was Red Bull.
When I say that Red Bull “tastes kind of disgusting,” this is not a subjective opinion. No, that was the opinion of a wide cross-section of the public. According to marketing lore, before Red Bull launched outside Thailand, where it had originated, the licensee approached a research agency to see what the international consumer reaction would be to the drink’s taste; the agency, a specialist in researching the flavoring of carbonated drinks, had never seen a worse reaction to any proposed new product.
