Do you type notes in a computer or write them by hand, /sci/?
I rarely take notes at all. All in my head.

Writing is faster and more flexible but it's easier to go back, navigate, and add to old notes on a computer, so I try to write on a computer now. For personal notes and research though, not for a course.

What I cannot create, I do not understand.
If you have to look up your notes, you don't understand it. You're wasting all this time keeping and managing notes in the age of the internet, you're stupid. It's a form of procrastination from real learning and thinking by rote memorizing things other people learned without learning it for yourselves. You will never advance science or math.

Prove it.

I don't take notes but I do make to-do lists

People learn in different ways. Some need to write down every detail, some need to reference, and some can learn from watching lectures. In any case, one does not determine who will have an intellectual superiority over someone who uses a different method. Since your memory is unreliable, referencing is not a bad way to reinforce your understanding of concepts. Also, your Feynman quote is irrelevant to your point and if you don't think he had to reference material until he does understand a topic, you're deluded in your thinking.

I'm talking about research notes, fool. Sometimes you have to go back to old ideas and continue to work on them.
I don't know what your point is.
Guys, check Surface pro.
I'm in Europe. Math students are starting to use them to take notes. Excellent device.
Only downside it's expensive.

I don't believe for a moment that you work on anything serious.

In what context?
Back in uni I never took lecture notes - remembered most of it, got the rest from textbooks. If there were interesting references I'd note them down by hand.
Now-a-days, for work, I take notes by hand, at least to the extent I take notes at all. I usually have a pad of paper with me so I can work on things when I get ideas, then write any significant steps up in a tex document.
