“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.”

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.”

Don't you look at rich people and find too many of them, well, dull?
"Our simulation clearly shows that it is just pure luck,"
"It is evident that the most successful individuals are also the luckiest ones. And the less successful individuals are also the unluckiest ones,"
"The maximum success never coincides with the maximum talent, and vice-versa."

Could there be a reason? Yes, it seems there could.
In an attempt to lure newcomers, Santa Fiora in Tuscany and Rieti in Lazio will pay up to 50 per cent of the rent of anyone who decides to move and telecommute on a long-term basis.
