This article briefly explains why this personal wiki no longer uses the once popular naming convention of 'Everything Person Knows' and why it should be left in the past. If you coincidentally happen to be contemplating a name for a personal wiki that you just made, then I do apologize.

Historically, the naming convention can be traced back to 'Everything Shii Knows' (ESK) in 2006, which would inspire 'Everything Anon Knows', the 'Everything I Know Wiki', and so on. Admittedly, this personal wiki also followed suit, 'Everthing Rumia Knows' (ERK), mostly because I wasn't very imaginative,¹⁾ but I finally dropped it in 2022 since it really bothered me over the years.²⁾

First off, you'd have to ask yourself what 'everything' actually curtails. There's no way that a singular person could realistically write down every single belief they have in one sitting, which is further compounded by the fact that people have 'occurrent' beliefs they might actively think about and 'dispositional' beliefs that they don't actively think about unless prompted. You may also have secrets that you shouldn't share.

Next, you have the word 'knows' which personally gives off the wrong impression. It just feels like a word that an arrogant know-it-all would pick, while I'm more of a humble skeptic that will admit to being a fucking idiot, plus I'm a bit adverse to 'look at me' types. From a philosophical standpoint, you also don't 'know' anything for certain, aside from your mind or consciousness, thus cogito, ergo sum.³⁾

The other reason is that 'Shii' was just a weird person in general, but this reason is less compelling than the other two reasons. We can easily criticize a snapshot of who 'Shii' used to be like in the aughts, but there's really no point in doing this. It's also objectively more fun to let people to explore this rabbit hole on their own accord and dabble in the alleged 'stalking' community that mysteriously surrounds the guy.
