If it's nutty, there are a LOT of us nuts out there, comparing note-taking methods, haunting sites like jetpens.com for the right pen/paper/notebook combinations, etc, etc.

I write "nutty" from my actual social position of unaffiliated reader/writer, who lives in a rural area and has very little real-world contact with other intellectuals. I FEEL nutty, even though I know people like Ted Gioia and you exist. I just never meet you guys. The pandemic only added to my feelings of alienation and feeling like a "nut" who reads tabloids, Finnegans Wake, books on rhetoric, and the sociology of science, etc.

That said, I'm still quite happy to read widely and take notes and submit articles. I suspect I'm not an island.
