The quality of discussion always depends on the interlocutors. You can have dumb discussions in real life just as much as you can have sophisticated ones in VR.

If you are not satisfied with the quality of discussion in VR, you can hop to another group much quicker than IRL, though.

Also, I'd wager that people at parties IRL are even more just out to fuck someone.
