> I dont know how it would be possible to build anything reasonably complex with groups of people without taking meeting notes. I don't imagine it is. I've never seen anything reasonably complex successfully built by way of meeting, notes or not. The actual work always happens when ideas are formally written down and iterated upon asynchronously. > Every single meeting would be everyone hallucinating what was said before in previous meetings, and lots of lying. Yup. Even with notetaking, that's all you can get out of meeting. You simply don't have immediate access to all the information you need (critical in complexity) in the heat of the moment to present useful thoughts, so anything that does come up is bound to be invalid anyway. Noting the invalid expression made during the meeting doesn't serve any purpose. As such, your notes are only as good as the trash that it is. It's a nice break from work, but that's about it.
