Strategic "scripted" surrealism

Strategic surrealism is a term coined by Lucas Attias in order to explain the ingenuity of the 21st century. Surrealism can describe anything extraordinary or too good to be true. Surrealism can be seen in comedy, art, music, or even an action performed. The concept of surrealism shaped many visionaries' ideas of our time. Steve Jobbs, Beethoven, Kanye West, Piccaso] all created art that challenged social norms and varied from the ordinary. People consider these artists to either be a genius or psychotic.  But, in actuality, these people all just had ideas that were surreal.  All of these people scripted their unreal ideas because chances favor the prepared mind.     When Attias created "scripted surrealism," it was intended to explain comedy and the great animated shows of our time.  However, the term is much broader than television and applies to many different ingenious ideas.  The term was modeled on the premise of the [[Eric Andre Show.  This show was created under the term surreal humor.  The only way to describe Eric Andre's show is random, chaotic, illogical, and simply unreal.  That is the beauty and method to Eric Andre's madness.  He has very little planning to his show and it is filmed for hours; even though only fifteen minutes of clips are used.  His surrealist methods are the reason his show only runs for fifteen minutes and is aired on adult swimlate at night.  He uses surreal humor to captivate an audience.  The randomness also ensures that the guests on the show cannot predict what will happen during their interview.  That is the genius of it all.   When Attias began creating his own animations and series, he started by scripting the surreal.  By creating wacky scenarios with pen and paper, he was able to plan the randomness while also increasing the entropy of a regular run-of-the-mill cartoon show.  The Susquehana Ohana TM was created using this underdeveloped concept of strategic surrealism.  But the term, though in its early stages, is much bigger than television.  When any artist, such as Chance the rapper or George Condo, creates art, their goal is to enthrall an audience and make them say, "wow this song is unreal."  Similarly, Elon Musk and Steve Jobbs sought this same reaction when creating the Tesla (company) and the iPhone, respectively.     This term works because it is so apparent in today's society.  Everything that is created and generally disliked fails to incorporate the surreal.  Anything that fails to gain popularity is generally a shittier replica of something that already exists.  Now, before I continue, I would like to point out that everything is a remix.   This is a theory created by Kirby Ferguson and can be read in depth at [].  Very few ideas are original and that is okay.  Apple's Mac is a remake of the already created Microsoft PC.  However, because the Mac and PC are so different, we do not interpret the Mac as a copy or replica.  Seth McFarlane's family guy is a replica of The Simpsona; and Seth makes reference to this fact in episodes.  You get the point.     When a replica is created without planning for any surrealism, the product fucking sucks.  One modern example is Comedy Central's new show Jeff and some Aliens.  This show is a very sub par version of Futurama and it is very apparent.  The Cleveland Show is another series that is so basic that it is just bad.  The Cleveland show tries very hard to be...well, any cartoon series.  But it lacks the planning and surrealism that Family Guy boasts.  And what we are left with is a very shitty product.

The only way to be a pioneer and change today's world for the better is to plan an idea that seems illogical. Instead of looking at crazy ideas as...crazy, one should  script the idea and create a plan for it. This process turns the crazy into the realistically crazy. Strategic Surrealism is a concept that allows people to voice their opinions and thoughts and genius. In today's society we are chained and limited by the boundaries of rigid social classes. We are bound by currency. The people that change the world are the ones that are not afraid to go out and live. The problem is that most people can not go out and afford to live or let their voice be heard. The people that are bound by society's rigidity are the same people that are the owners of ingenious ideas.

Strategic Surrealism is a term that attempts to give people the courage and reasons to voice their thoughts. Surrealism is the concept that gave people like Mark Zuckerberg the motivation for creating Facebook. He wanted to create something that people, specifically college students, would use and had not yet seen before. Facebook is a remix of mySpace but underwent much more planning and became noticeably more successful. Kudos to you, Mark. The only difference between what Mark Zuckerberg is doing and Eric Andre is the latter has no plan. Eric Andre is illogical and he just impulsively does what he wants. Zuckerberg has a plan for crafting surreal products. Not everyone has the same psychotic nature as Eric Andre or myself, but everyone does have an opinion and some sort of ingenious idea.

Most people are too insecure or afraid of failure. Their ideas stay trapped in their minds begging to escape. Today's society suppresses a free flow of thoughts. While surrealism has been a great concept to describe what society's major players have done, it is not enough by itself. Unreal ideas have provided the 1% of society all of their fortunes. But again, chances favor the prepared mind and the 1% did a very good job at scripting their surreal ideas. This allowed them to conquer western civilization.
