I picked the first option as being closest to the truth for me, that he takes notes and it bugs me but the real truth is that it isn't the action of taking notes in the moment that bugs me, but the way he constantly refers back to them for the purpose of telling me what [he thinks] I think. He seems oblivious to the fact that his notes are interpretation and not fact, which is indeed how he presents them, as if written by the gods.

“We use our minds not to discover facts but to hide them. One of things the screen hides most effectively is the body, our own body, by which I mean, the ins and outs of it, its interiors. Like a veil thrown over the skin to secure its modesty, the screen partially removes from the mind the inner states of the body, those that constitute the flow of life as it wanders in the journey of each day.”
