That plus, the white of paper isnt like screen glare, and the font definition is far superior. CMYK vs RGB

Color on paper is done by adding ink to go to black, color on screen by adding light to go to white - makes a big difference

i think the grand majority of us, those of us on Twitter are most likely conditioned on a subconscious level to place less merit with words we read on the internet vs the physical intimacy we have with an object, values/feelings attached to it, representation of worth

Unless you use track changes or version control and diff, which is arguably even less permanent.

Papyrus is better. Also go listen to an album on vinyl if you don’t trust me.

Writing in margins and underlying is big reason 99% of the books I buy are paper. Fewer distractions too.

Agreed! Pen and papper and whiteboards > any texteditor (including Emacs). Too bad I cannot find enough wallspace for my 3 whiteboards just yet.

Also the body language of paper is lean in encouraging engagement whereas screen is lean back discouraging input
