Brink Thinking is centered around making the irrational rational. Many of the best inventions and ideas that have impacted society today seemed irrational until a Brink Thinker thought beyond the absurd. Imagination
helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge; it is a fundamental faculty through which people make sense of the world.
Society benefits when imagination and absurdity collide.
