Small talk imo is those "feeler" questions. Hows the weather? See that thing on TV? How was traffic? You having the case of the Mondays?
It's just noise to break the silence. I don't have patience for it. Speak your intentions.
You wanna talk about your train collection? Do it. That's not small talk, that's a topic.
"I had the worse weekend. Can I tell you about it?" Straight to the point with their Intention.
"Did you know there's a New Mustard based on ancient seeds found in Mongolia?" Real direct intention.
