Was Heidegger an über-autist for hating small talk?
"...[B]y its very nature, idle talk is a closing off since it omits going back to the foundation of what is being talked about. This closing off is aggravated anew by the fact that idle talk, in which an understanding of what is being talked about is supposedly reached, holds any new questioning and discussion at a distance because it presumes it has understood and in a peculiar way it suppresses them and holds them back."
Brandon Mitchell
Heidegger was an insufferable sperglord in general, there's good arguments on how one should deal with small talk but his is not one.
Elijah Clark
Nothing wrong with being an uber-autist. He's done more for the world than you ever will.
Daniel Richardson
No he's pretty correct. He's not saying to avoid communication, he's saying to avoid trite communication.
Dylan White
This. I hate this fucking "autist??? opinion discarded xDDDD" crap.
Anthony Baker
he didnt do shit
Brayden Moore
It's naive though to think you can simply bring things to the end like that or that it's desirable. Maybe you or others want to keep a distance from each other because what is at the end of communication can be ugly and uncomfortable.
What is the intelligent response is using charisma and creativity to play with the distancing involved with small talk
Julian James
Where start with Heideggar?
John Bell
Aristotle
Thomas Stewart
Too bad nobody here has any friends to make idle chatter with.
Robert Butler
The Ole Black Forest Babbler.
He will show you the light.
Cameron Roberts
All he 'did' was spout endless nonsensical horseshit for a living.
David Smith
Heraclits or Parmenides.
Landon Bennett
He didn't hate it be just said it's inauthentic.
Michael Fisher
Lets be real here, Someone saying to me "Nice weather we're having" or some other form of small talk is pretty pointless and just fills the air with emptiness. If you're talking just to talk then why even bother? But if its with a friend and they bring up a point or something then yeah its more necessary because relationships can't be built on "Nice weather" or "Slow Elevator, huh?"
Grayson Hughes
nice
Jacob Williams
this. True communication would only hurl you in a dreadful whirlwind of madness, like what happens here on Veeky Forums.
Charles Garcia
Did. And read around Heidegger with Nietzsche and Sartre; I'm thinking of trying to get through some of his shorter essays before diving into Being and Time.
Wyatt Sanders
add XDDDD LMAO to the end of a statement opinion discarded
Nathaniel Cox
Then don't talk at all; fucking Usonians I swear.
Ethan Phillips
why are you scared by silence? :|
Juan Lopez
Why do you mean? All I'm saying is if your desire is to talk to others small talk can be a way of having interesting and revealing discussions with someone within its own confines of its demanded topics and tone. Any idiot can just "bring it to the end" and start talking about the philosophy of being or psychoanalytic drives going on but it breaks down discussion rather than deepening it often. What takes skill is someone who can use smalltalk itself to transcend it.
Jonathan Smith
Desire to talk is the desire to exchange the meaning of something. Your behaviour is part of the disease, don't pose like you surviving our times.
Nathan Hall
The meta has rotted your brain son.
Joshua Rogers
Is this not the meaning of Dasein in Heideggars own work which he's contradicting in his own statement in the OP. We have to operate within the lifeworld we are engulfed in, and the ideology that structures smalltalk is part of that.
Daniel Evans
How easily you bend over a reality that a narration created is a problem of yours. Enjoy living in the unchanging universe.
Cameron Hernandez
T-thanks
Bentley Howard
I don't care really. Phatic discourse is a necessary evil like coffee and yoga.
Nathan Turner
the world would vastly improve if everyone ITC including me died
Lucas Ross
wow, some much self-persuasion here
Elijah Carter
Heidegger was a womanizer. He had to master small talk in order to seduce bitches. So yes, he hated it but he was certainly not an r9k autist.
Nicholas Hill
Social autists in here don't understand the role small talk plays in making friends
Zachary Lee
Being and Time is my bible.

idle talk in B&T is closer to gossip. it's not like heidegger never talked about the weather. idle talk is essentially a needless involvement in the superficial dealings of others. imagine someone who just constantly talks shit on other people and then goes home and watches the kardashians all day. idle talk is not small talk.
Isaac Torres
I don't mind small-talk,but when it's about vapid shit that has a simple answer or requires very little thought, then I can live without it. But if I have to master it, I will. I'll just think about something more interesting in the meanwhile

Jeremiah Rodriguez
Start with Being and Time, The Question Concerning Technology, or The Origin of the Work of Art?
