Remind me never to get into a sustained meaningful relationship then.

My interest in talking has more to do with who I'm talking to and less to do with the subject of conversation

I’m not going to be in a relationship with anyone who thinks “freewill” is a word.

Personally I think that small talk is also regional. Some places small talk might be discouraged at a store while other places it might be encouraged. The same might be for the subway, a restaurant, the bathroom, etc, depending on the country or culture it may be totally ok or exceptionally discouraged.

Wife and I have a longstanding argument over whether free-will exists.

I say it does and she has no choice but to say otherwise.

I'm able to make smalltalk. I just don't enjoy it, so I avoid it when I can.

And my wife and I don't engage in smalltalk. We talk about what we actually care about. Seems to have worked fine for the past 24 years.

Absofuckinglutely. This is what I do, and what she does, though our methods of exploration vary.

Imagine going through a marriage like "how about that weather"
