People with low intelligence usually make small talk because they do not want you to realize how stupid they are. Small talk is why people have become dumb, conformed and useless. Small talk is a way for nosy people to try and find out who you are. And when they do not find out who you are, they keep the small talk going leading to infinite small talk about nothing of substance. What is better than small talk? Dentist. What is better than small talk? Falling asleep on the subway with an open purse.
