There doesn't seem be a speck of improvement in the quality of political discussions. Friendfeed users say exactly the same things the kids in my high school 40 years ago said. Discussions of some topics would improve over time because there's been progress in the field under discussion.
Whatever field would discuss "Tell my why economic force isn't coercion" isn't making any progress.

That people will discuss it without making any attempt to define the terms might have something to do with the lack of progress.
