This is why I value async communication in companies so much. I'm not a fast speaker, I'm a slow thinker and often need to ruminate on things before I can respond. But once I put my thoughts into words it's often 10x better than anything I could have said verbally in a conversation.
As an added benefit, writing is not nearly as ephemeral as "meetings". I can't count the number of times I've asked for meeting recordings only to learn no one bothered to record it. Even if it was recorded, basically no one shares their notes.
It's gotten to the point within my own company I'm developing a bot to join all meetings and transcribe the conversation.
