What makes a good topic for my EIP? Is it something that I would enjoy talking about?

Is it something controversial that had no clear resolution? Is it something with


scientifically backed answer that people reject anyway? In my opinion, a good topic is
one where I instantly think I cant wait to argue with someone about this. I dont even
care what side of the argument I would be on; I just want it to be something with no
clear answer. A nuanced problem, where all sides of the debate surrounding it have
valid points or concerns, is far more interesting than another argument about why global
warming is indeed occurring and not a Chinese conspiracy. An discussion on a topic
produces ideas, a synthesis of viewpoints impossible when brainstorming on your own
or arguing with an imaginary strawman.
