MODERATORS
I'm in this picture and my SO doesn't like it.
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.
I really fucking hope there isn't a place on earth where smalltalk on public transit is encouraged.

I tell jokes. I don't really do small talk. But, yes most conversations are deeply personal and deeply philosophical. I have lots of great friends, a lovely wife, a good job and fantastic kids. So yes, you can do just fine with almost no small talk. Become yourself, not what some unimaginative poster on the internet desperate for validation of their opinions thinks people should or shouldn't become.

Honestly, I always engage in small talk. You can hate it but I see you on a regular basis and I'm always attempting to make a connection, one day we will connect.

Absofuckinglutely. This is what I do, and what she does, though our methods of exploration vary.
Plan...?
Yeah, that's pretty much how it looks like for me
Actually I have this kind of conversations. I don't care so much about monkey problems
I love small talk. It's just noises that communicate emotion or very basic information, and it has a script!
I think no matter what we do most of the things are outoff our control
