I like pen and paper for meetings because I can take notes while asserting dominance through constant eye contact. I can touch type, but I need to be looking at the screen to achieve the same level of accuracy with which I can blindly write.

Tangential: I also recently switched to paper without lines after 20 years, and it's been quite liberating.

Fortunately, I was trained/forced to write on plain blank papers in school. So, I can pretty much course-correct my invisible lines. However, when I have a choice, I’ve decided to stick to dotted grids.

what you see as "asserting dominance" i show as "giving respect"

are these the same things or are we reaching differently w/ the consideration
