Neuroabsurdism is more than a theory; it is a practical philosophy and a spontaneous movement that proposes a disruptive path to navigate and transcend the inherent challenges of the human condition, such as fear, anxiety, procrastination, and existential apathy; thereby unlocking the maximum creative, efficient, and productive potential of our mind.
It is founded on the premise that our rigid adherence to conventional logic and our incessant quest for control can, paradoxically, be the source of our stagnation and suffering.
Neuroabsurdism is based on the neuroscience of Predictive Processing, which defines the mind as a "Radar" obsessed with minimizing error.
This school of thought invites a Neurocognitive Revolution: the conscious application of the "Absurd" to dismantle the neural patterns that enslave us.
Through its counterintuitive principles and exercises, Neuroabsurdism seeks a profound "RESET" of our perception, allowing for the reactivation of Will and the rediscovery of our Intrinsic Purpose.

Unlike the classical Absurdism of Albert Camus, which confronted the cold indifference of the universe and the inherent lack of meaning as a source of anguish and resignation, Neuroabsurdism proposes a radical reinterpretation. For Camus, the Absurd was that tragic divorce between the human search for meaning and the irrational silence of the world.
Neuroabsurdism, however, inverts this vision: it maintains that within the apparent illogic of the Absurd lies precisely the key to unlocking our minds and finding, or reconnecting with, our primary Purpose and Motivation, this being a true existential, pragmatic, and rewarding sustenance for every human being.
1. Questioning of Limiting Logic: Recognizes that blind adherence to pre-established chains of cause-and-effect creates mental traps and amplifies fear of failure or the unknown.
2. Embrace of Conscious Absurdity: Proposes the deliberate insertion of illogical or paradoxical elements into our thinking and action to break obsolete neural patterns and force new, liberating connections.
3. Priority of Intrinsic Purpose: Reaffirms that the purest and most sustainable motivation is born from the pleasure of doing, exploring, creating, and sharing—from each individual's inclination or vocation—detached from external results or validation.
4. Activation of Will and Lightness: Through the practical application of its principles, Neuroabsurdism guides towards an active dissolution of mental blocks, fostering a more fluid, resilient, and meaningful experience.
5. The Search for Optimal Chaos (Flexibility/Flow): Mental rigidity leads to fear and rumination. Neuroabsurdism, through the absurd exercise (the conscious application of the illogical), seeks to guide the system into a state of Optimal Chaos where the mind fluidly oscillates between tension and relaxation. This cognitive flexibility allows the "Radar" to update its predictions without succumbing to fear, transforming uncertainty into a game of exploration and wellbeing.
