There are generally 4 types of reasons why people exhibit absurd thought process.
The first is that they are simply stupid.
The second is that they don't have enough information, facts or knowledge about the subject matter, but for some reason, they have to make a statement or comment.
The third is that they don't see any downside or any potential loss in making a statement or comment based on absurd thought process.
An example would be when you are in a management meeting and the owner's son says some absurd things. He knows there will be no repercussions.
The fourth is that someone whom they are trying to suck up to or curry favour with, has already said something similar of that nature. They cannot but parrot his words.
Next time someone you know exhibits absurd thought process, try classifying him into one of these 4 categories. It will enable you to understand him or the situation better.
