One of the strange things that we humans can do is to look at our own Selves from the outside in, as well as from the inside out. In other words, we can feel and at the same time watch our Selves feeling.

Names are like passkeys which unlock our empathy, in a single moment capable of transforming a stranger into someone deserving of our decency. But, interestingly, the empathizing effect of knowing someone’s name still applies when its bearer isn’t human. It was quite likely after our earliest interspecies bonding, with the domestication of dogs some 50,000 years ago, that we first began to bestow some form of personal names upon animals, too — and in so doing, elevated their distinction from a generalized animal, to an individualized companion. It’s not surprising then that, in that recognition, dogs soon gained access to affection and endearment we once reserved only for our own kind.

A brief history of naming animals. Pair with the fascinating history of how we domesticated dogs, then explore some of the names famous authors gave their pets.

Indeed, Clark’s main beef with our repression is that we enter into it willingly. “Digital Witness,” the album’s conceptual centerpiece, complains, “If I can’t show it, you can’t see me/ What’s the point of doing anything?” — a not-at-all-subtle allusion to the modern-day culture of (over-)sharing. It evokes what you might call the commodification of identity, the sense that our very selves have become data for processing and monetizing, and the way we have acquiesced to this with barely a whimper: “Give me all of your mind/ I want all of your mind… Won’t somebody sell me back to me?”
