List of arguments:

• notetaking makes you go from remembering only what stays organically to what seems like it might be interesting
• "Getting lost in your knowledge management system is a fantastic way to avoid creating things"
  • same thing applied to books/courses/videos on notetaking systems (the only part that I agree with)
• the majority of interesting writing is off-the-cuff
• distraction by presentation of factual insight (?)
• this stuff doesn't apply to summarizing huge swaths of literature or if the person has "truly bad, unfixable memories"
• author is "waiting for any evidence" that the best thinkers rely on notetaking systems, and thinks those that are taught it "produce unexciting work" (emphasis mine)
• isn't anti-notetaking, but is anti-systems
• avoid useless adoption of the aesthetic
