Mu! (category error, at least for the Aristotelean sage)
The Gervais Principle describes how people behave in organisations (at the extreme: in prisons or gulags every inmate quickly becomes a sociopath); eudaemonia concerns people with sufficient autarky for yet another kind of talk: the enjoyable exploration of honourable topics among friends.
Such then being the eudaemonic talk, the corresponding character on the side of deficiency is gametalk, and on that of excess powertalk. Gametalk is deficient because it speaks of nothing and goes nowhere; powertalk is excessive because it is purely instrumental, and furthermore uses a great deal of instrumentality only to arrive at places of small interest.

(all for now; I expect Epictetus will differ, for unlike Aristotle he's not about to argue that eudaemonia involves picking your parents wisely)
