“If there are to be salvific revolutions in our future, they must be moral ones — that is, a certain new phenomenon, which we have yet to discover, discern, and bring to life.” - Solzhenitsyn

“The Outsider is someone who sees
“too deep and too much”
and that most of what he sees is “chaos.”
He or she lives in the world with a sense of “strangeness” and “unreality.”
The safe, stable reality that most of us perceive is for the Outsider an illusion, a façade obscuring a more dangerous and threatening possibility: that of nothingness, nihilism, and the void, the complete inconsequentiality of human life and all its achievements.
For the Outsider, the values and meanings that constitute life for most people
— a good job, a big home, a nice bank account — are empty and makeshift; they are, at best, “attempts to gloss over, to make look civilized and rational something that is savage, unorganized, irrational.”
He stands for Reality.
He seeks a meaning and purpose that the everyday world cannot provide and his salvation lies in understanding this and embracing it with total conviction.”
—Gary Lachman, Beyond the Robot
