Urusula K Le Guin's father was an anthropologist at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1911 he met and sheltered/studied/befriended/worked with the last living member of the Yahi-Yana native people of the area, Ishi.
'Ishi, which means "man" in the Yana language, is an adopted name. The anthropologist Alfred Kroeber gave him this name because in the Yahi culture, tradition demanded that he not speak his own name until formally introduced by another Yahi. When asked his name, he said: "I have none, because there were no people to name me"'

@peha
In the Earthsea? Stands to reason. I think there are quite a few cultures which are chary of sharing real names. -
@marisa even more interesting when I consider that the "most famous self-help Jungian of our time" promotes the sort of language and behaviors that alienate people from one another
@kirch am afraid to ask who this is...?

@marisa unless who they are is a bigoted fucking asshole, and what they are passionate about is racism, fascism and overall ashattery, in which case i recommend they shut up the fuck up and live in an empty room.
@whangdoodler agree(!)

Sometimes it feels like I'm existing in my own little silo for self-preservation.
@marisa Oh wow. This hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank you.
When I am talking about something important to me, I often am interrupted with "Can we talk about something else?!?"
