Discussion in todays world is highly over rated.

There are people who build hospitals and there are people who stand around talking about who should build hospitals.

The former group in any population in any country is very small. The latter group is very large and thanks to the current architecture of the internet have gotten so over amplified that they think they actually matter.

Their resumes don't have any actual achievement beyond drawing attention to things. They don't matter. People who are driven to build hospitals will keep building hospitals irrespective of all the "discussions" going on.

OK, but hospitals don't get built by people waking up in the morning, buying some bricks and stacking them up. Hospitals (and anything else worthwhile) require a lot of people with specialized skills to work together while other people make food and roads and schools and so on. Some amount of talking is required to coordinate it all.

Is the fraction of people who actually build things small? An economist would say no, we're at nearly full employment. To the extent that too many people are doing non-worthwhile things in their job, the solution to that might involve more talking, not less.
