>I want to talk about atoms
As a Materials engineer I could bore this person to tears about atomic crystal structures.
I also fail to see how the listed topics and "small talk" are mutually exclusive. If I'm talking to some ADD stranger who wants to know what I think about aliens it would still be small talk levels of discussion. Furthermore, I frankly don't want to casually divulge schizo shit and my weaknesses to strangers, you'd have to be my friend for years before I consider talking about it.

On the other hand one of these spastics wouldn't be able to tell if you're lying to their face so the most interesting thing to do with these people would be seeing what bullshit you can feed them.

>atoms
You will sound like a retard talking about this if you aren't familiar with quantum physics.

>death
You will sound like some edgelord and it is too much of an morbid subject to bring up even with ppl you know for years.

>aliens
You will sound like some conspiracy theorist retard unless you talk about the Fermi paradox or bacteria in other planets which are technically aliens

>sex
You will sound like a coomer and this is just as bad as small talk

>magic
I doubt this means magic tricks and instead it's more akin to /x/ schizo tier shit.

>meaning of life
You will sound like a pseudo, this is their favourite topic after all

>faraway galaxies
Just like with atoms, you will sound like a retard if you don't know what you are talking about. Most likely you end up talking about Star Wars bullshit

>All the other shit like music, memories, etc
Yeah, no. Small talk is necessary to break the ice with strangers. Talking about all this personal stuff can scare them away. I hate small talk too but it's indeed just a necessary nuisance.

Moron. No one wants to talk to pieces of shit who go around smugly saying which topics "deserve" their attention. There is no contest of people trying to talk to you (except sellers), brainlet, and if you actually wanted to talk about anything profound, you'd just say something about it and wait for a reply. But here's what you are saying: "hello everyone! Most of you are too stupid for me! Please talk to me about interesting topics". You're a self-centered asshole and if you don't have friends, no wonder; if you do, they probably just tolerate you and none is close enough to actually tell you how insufferable you are.

Unironically On the Road. It has passages about long conversations done deep into the night in order to gain complete mutual understandings, and the book has a lot of passages in general with that sort of sense.
