    Yeah you need to work on that. Humans exist in community, we need it. Casual small talk with strangers is good for everyone

      Small talk is the cultural “carrier wave”. It’s the never-ending buzz of shared values and experiences against which our personalities stand out.

      Radios don’t work if they can’t hook into the carrier wave of the channel they’re on. Same for small talk and people.
