Both, by themselves, harmless consumables from the 90s. New math is like chasing down a packet of Pop Rocks with some RC Cola. When, for example, “chemicals that separately have no effect on the body but when mixed together create a toxic, cancerous result.”
MATH MASHUP PLUS
It refers to when “zero plus zero equals something”. New Math, is a term originated by Earl Gray, an American environmental scientist and tea enthusiast (I assume). A gaming console with dated processors and auto airbag accelerometers, that went on to outsell the much more advanced - and conventional - rival consoles, Xbox and Playstation. The example given in the book is of Shigeru Miyamoto and how he created the Nintendo Wii. Ideas often pulled from foreign fields and disparate disciplines. Really, mashups are about the combinatory creation of existing ideas. Something not entirely original but not entirely not, either. A DJ, for those of you not familiar, is a name given to a child of wealthy parents who didn’t want to go to college or get a job because it’s just not his bag…Īnyways, these DJs take existing music then cut, slice, and dice things together to create something new. Mashup is a term born out of DJ’ing apparently. These are the ideas of mashup and new math. It has a number of interesting takeaways, but I want to talk about just two as they’re relevant to a few things going on in markets today. There’s lessons pulled from Israeli spy chiefs, Hezbollah middle managers, silicon valley VCs, South African AIDs doctors, and Cubist art critics… All in all, it makes for a fun and quick read.
