I've been organizing and facilitating face-to-face dialogue groups in Colorado for decades.
I've tried several times to start a constructive online dialogue group, based on that experience and some new information I'm going to try it again. Watch for an announcement here in the next few days.

ENTREPRENEURIAL DECLINE
ABSTRACT Cooke, P. World Turned Upside Down: Entrepreneurial Decline, Its Reluctant Myths and Troubling Realities. Preprints 2019, 2019010228 (doi: 10.20944/preprints201901.0228.v1). Cooke, P. World Turned Upside Down: Entrepreneurial Decline, Its Reluctant Myths and Troubling Realities. Preprints 2019, 2019010228 (doi: 10.20944/preprints2019Abstract
The aim of this paper is to attempt to understand why the popular academic and policy field of promoting, studying and evangelising “entrepreneurship” should have been associated with great success but, in the past twenty years or more in many advanced economies, so much failure. From the US to lesser and developing countries, emerging economies and the European Union, entrepreneurship, especially in regard to start-ups and particularly high-tech start-ups have been in constant more or less recent decline. This is seldom registered in the mainstream literature where a positive and benign profile is generally presented. The paper examines this phenomenon, ties it partly with the “productivity paradox” and seeks tentative hypotheses in relation to the apparent illusions if not delusions regarding “entrepreneurship”.

So I just Googled "George Will What's Wrong Football" and here are a few of his words of wisdom on the topic:
"For all players who play five or more years, life expectancy is less than 60; for linemen it is much less." Aug 3, 2012
