Ask HN: Why the obsession with note taking?

If there's one thing absolutely guaranteed to get a gazillion comments on HN, it's a post about either 1) note taking software, 2) note taking methodology 3) a combination of the two.

I'm kinda fascinated by this, in large part because I'm sucked in by it too. I can't count the number of apps I've tried, or the dopamine rush when installing a new one.

What's this about? Do we all secretly believe we can be truly better people if we can just get this right? Or are we just endlessly curious about what everyone else does? Tell me, I need to understand myself better!
