The Pinocchio Theory reviews Paolo Virno's A Grammar of the Multitude:

Virno also analyzes categories such as the 'idle talk' and 'curiosity' so excoriated by Heidegger (who views them with horror and disgust as inauthentic ways of being of the ignorant masses), and shows how they might better be regarded as civic virtues, and sources of invention and renovation.

This as an exaggeration of Heidegger's views of 'idle talk'. It is ungrounded and inauthentic (non-disclosive):

[Idle talk] does not communicate in such a way as to let this entity be appropriated in a primordial manner.
P. 212

And it is related to curiosity

Idle talk controls even the way in which one may be curious. It says what one "must" have read and seen.

But everyone does it some of the time.

Everyone is acquainted with what is up for discussion and what occurs, and everyone discusses it;
P. 217

That is just the ways things are.

Such discourse, which is cultivated in the uprooting engendered by repetitive talk, is idle talk. I am referring to a well-defined phenomenon with this term, which as such carries no disparaging connotation whatsoever.
P. 269

No horror or disgust there.  ¶ 3:08 PM
