"Pens are often considered a fetish item of neurotics with disposable income"
I don't have tremendous disposable income but pens are a pretty minor indulgence, which might excuse making them into a fetish item, writing pointlessly elaborate reviews of them (https://jakeseliger.com/2009/04/05/product-review-pens/), and so forth. Overall, I've come to like the Pigma Micron PN ("plastic nib") pens, which writes smoothly and from any angle—including above my head, which is handy for someone who likes to lie down and read.
I've carried around fountain pens, but they are too expensive if (when) lost, and too finicky.

Yeah, I think I can dispose of the ~$16 for a pack of 12 these are currently going for. Which, when you consider how many things go into the manufacture of one of these, all the little parts, assembly, is practically a miracle.

#5My life would have taken a different and probably less computer-centered path if I hadn't found the act of writing physically uncomfortable. From the day I learned to write all the way through to the present, it doesn't take more than a couple of minutes for my hand to begin aching. How fascinating it would be to be one of those people who can put pen to page for hours at a time, or buzz out notes in real-time then look down without being repulsed at the form of their handwriting.

Fwiw...I had no hand problems and excellent handwriting. People used to ask me to transcribe their notes for handouts. And after about age 20, I almost completely abandoned it in favor of keyboards. All to say, your life might not have been any different
