Description

I HAD TO CUT MY LAST EDITORIAL SHORT: I HAD UNDERTAKEN TO TALK ABOUT THINKING--outside the square, and did not get past 'thinking'. 'Outside' is not a comfortable word! And Chambers is not much consolation '... the farthest limit; unlikely; remote; beyond the limit; not having membership; not a member of a particular company; a stranger, layman; a person not fit to be associated with; not included in the favourites ...' Corollaries of being, going, or thinking outside are that you become an alien, an immigrant, intruder, interloper, misfit, gatecrasher, the odd one out. Pretty terrifying in fact, especially in relation to an occupational group whose professional behaviour is often dictated by rule or policy. I am not talking about the classic or compulsive 'outsider', about whom Colin Wilson in the fifties gave us the definitive text. The group cannot affect the true outsider to whom any sanctions are meaningless. The beat generation were the classic outsiders; James Dean a constructed outsider. What sort of people have earned the distinction? It is commoner in English literature than it is in Australian. Evelyn Waugh and Nancy Mifford (U and non-U) the arch exponents. But children anywhere are particularly good, often to the point of real viciousness, at inflicting it. Some of history's classic outsiders achieved varying degrees of fame: Napoleon; Galileo; Newton; Byron; Hitler; Ned Kelly; Billy Hughes; Menzies (an outsider trying desperately to be an insider). The most vocal of today's Australian outsiders is probably Phillip Adams.
