Great minds abhor small talk.
I’ve been on Facebook for a few years now. I’ve made some great connections with exceptionally bright people, and enjoyed a newfound sense of community within this social media venue. My relationships on FB are richly rewarding, and daily posting (sometimes journaling) is an enriching part of my morning ritual.
My profile clearly states I’m not there to chat, although male strangers from all over the globe assume that if I accept their ‘friend’ request, I’m willing to fill the hole in their soul with banal exchanges about the weather, or something else equally as boring. I have received literally hundreds of DM outreaches from guys that say, “How are you doing?” or “What’s the weather like, where you are?” or “Where are you from?” even though my FB bio clearly states where I was born, where I live, what I do for a living, and states, “sorry, NO CHATS!”
This leads me to presume that at least 50% of the world’s populace is illiterate, and given the Biden administrations edicts, mandates and utterly sinister practice of denying school-aged children education and social interaction these days, illiteracy appears to loom vibrantly on our horizon, as the NEXT Pandemic!
Keeping people frightened and ignorant to easily control them seems to be the Leftist agenda, and God help us if we don’t rise up in outrage and fight hard to vanquish this insanity really SOON.
I HATE small talk. I always have. Even as a young woman who had no idea of her own strength of intellect, I had no threshold whatsoever, for tolerating ‘small talk.’ I have zero tolerance for human incompetence, even though I realize that many people were raised by parents who were incapable of loving their kids and patiently teaching them about life, and how to navigate it.
You might say, I’m judgmental. I can own that without emotionally crucifying myself for it, and maybe You should too. If you look deeply enough into yourself, you’ll find a judgmental aspect within you~ even if it’s only toward obese people or child molesters. We are ALL judgmental to one degree or another.
I’ve been rambling and have gotten wildly tangential here, but my point is, small talk is the byproduct of small minds, and if you have a small mind, it means you’re undercooked~ which is My term for emotionally underdeveloped. If you have nothing better to contribute to a conversation on a date than, “so, what do you like to do for fun?” you’re intellectually AND emotionally out of your depth with the person you’re sharing a meal, and you should pay the check and take her home~ because SHE hates ‘small talk’ almost as much as I do, even if she’s too polite to tell ya so.
