Philips:

Whatever I say or do pales into insignificance in comparison with your desperately neurotic need to defend yourself. You cannot let anything go that in anyway casts a slur upon your understanding of yourself. You are by leaps and bounds the most defensive person on these forums. Your fear of not being in control of your own self understanding is pathologically paranoid. You need to suck people into your game like a vampire and you get very agitated when people refuse to play along with you.

Whether I am an amateur psyhcologist is irrelevant. Whether I am right or not is the only thing that matters.

".atheists in front of bewigged and sashed members of judiciary".

How could they genuflect to "My lord" as convicts did?
" Already, magistrates throughout Australia are now designated in court as "Your Honour" in place of the former honorific "Your Worship" ._ Judge Kirby in place of a former red-robed supernatural deity.

Knights of course bend the knee and get the sword-blade under the ear
involving standing, bowing and kneeling while chewing gum. Luckily Sir Prince Philip of Yarralumla and Wattle rose again after the gymnastics enforced by priestly Tony Abbott who resumed his seat.

Keep the amateur psychology coming, phanto. This is amusing stuff.

<<Whatever I say or do pales into insignificance in comparison with your desperately neurotic need to defend yourself.>>

You assume I’m defending myself. What if I’m just having fun? I might be curious as to how absurd your arguments will get. I might want to make it obvious to you or others just how irrational and silly your behaviour is. What if the person you’re communicating with is sitting at the keyboard with an amused smirk on their face rather than the panicked, agitated look that your amateur psychological diagnoses attempt to portray?

You never consider any of this because your psychoanalytical methodology only allows for one explanation per behaviour, and you ensure that it is the most unflattering possible explanation.

<<You cannot let anything go that in anyway casts a slur upon your understanding of yourself.>>

Or one of my many above-listed possibilities.

<<You are by leaps and bounds the most defensive person on these forums.>>

You assume I’m getting defensive. You have not provided sufficient reason for one to arrive at such a conclusion, given all I’ve said thus far.

<<Your fear of not being in control of your own self understanding is pathologically paranoid.>>

You assume I’m experiencing feelings of fear. You have not provided sufficient reason for one to arrive at such a conclusion, given all I’ve said thus far.

<<You need to suck people into your game like a vampire and you get very agitated when people refuse to play along with you.>>

You assume I’m playing games and becoming agitated. You have not provided sufficient reason for one to arrive at such a conclusion, given all I’ve said thus far. On the contrary, I think my tone has been consistently relaxed. You, on the other hand…

What game, by the way?

<<Whether I am right or not is the only thing that matters.>>

Correct, and your appallingly inadequate methodology ensures that if you’re ever correct in your diagnoses, then it is only by sheer fluke that you are.

Of course, with a woomera of 600mm holding the cricket ball the tangential orbital velocity doubles , 2nR, and you're getting near pistol MV. Bowling grapeshot scores points.

It's all very Pythonesque...

Arthur - AKA "the courts": (very angry) BE QUIET!I *order* you to be quiet!
Woman: "Order", eh, 'oo does 'e think 'e is?
Arthur: I am your king!
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you!
Arthur: You don't vote for kings!
Woman: Well 'ow'd you become king then?
Arthur: The Lady of the Lake-- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite,held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by
divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king!
Man: (laughingly) Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical aquatic ceremony!
Arthur: (yelling) BE QUIET!
Man: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!!
Arthur: (coming forward and grabbing the man) Shut *UP*!
Man: I mean, if I went 'round, saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Arthur: (throwing the man around) Shut up, will you, SHUT UP!
Man: Aha! Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: SHUT UP!
Man: (yelling to all the other workers) Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP, HELP, I'M BEING REPRESSED!
Arthur: (letting go and walking away) Bloody PEASANT!
Man: Oh, what a giveaway! Did'j'hear that, did'j'hear that, eh? That's what I'm all about! Did you see 'im repressing me? You saw it,didn't you?!

Dear nicknamenick,

That’s true, nicknamenick, but roadside camping is more of a Romani gypsy lifestyle. They came here with the First Fleet and remain well-entrenched as fully fledged members of Australian society.

Hermits are quite different. They are individuals who live in total seclusion from society. They just want to be left alone. Like Yuyutsu, they are often quite religious.

Yuyutsu is a Hindu name that means “the one who is curious to fight”. In the Hindu epic Mahabharata he was a son that Dhritarashtra had with Sughada, the maid of his wife, Gandhari. Yuyutsu was conceived with Sughada because it was feared that Gandhari couldn't have children. At least, that's their story!

From a religious point of view, the solitary life is a form of asceticism, whereby hermits renounce worldly concerns and pleasures to come closer to the deity or deities they worship and also in order to devote their energies to self-liberation from "samsara" (a Sanskrit word meaning "wandering" or "world", with the connotation of cyclic, circuitous change, a cycle of aimless drifting, wandering or mundane existence).

I think the eremitic lifestyle would suit Yuyutsu quite well. His mysticism is no secret.

I tend to imagine hermits living in seclusion in mountain caves deep in the bush, frugally surviving on whatever nature provides – perhaps in the Kimberleys or the Snowy Mountains, for example. (As a matter of fact, I got lost myself with a couple of mates in the Snowy Mountains for three days and three nights. We found our way back by pure chance but could have remained there forever - even though it was Crown land! Nobody missed us and we hadn’t told anyone where we were going).

The original Christian hermits lived in the desert, particularly in the Sahara. Perhaps the Central Australian desert might be appropriate – though I shouldn’t fancy that myself.
