Well, partly it is indeed about defining smalltalk.
"then I don't think that the problem is that the whole world is too dumb[2] for your level of "smalltalk" topics."
I also don't think other people are too dumb to have conversation with me.
But I do value silence more, than well "talking for the sake of talking".
Meaning 2 people thinking they need to do smalltalk, but both people are not that interested in the other person. Casual blabla to pass the time. Or artificial attempts to "network". (Won't work like this) I can smile about such awkward conversations, but not take part in it.
Otherwise I can make deep connections very fast with completely random strangers and talk about anything. If I feel like it.
