I would guess that writing this post would take a lot of time, considering your relative lack of background, and I’m not sure the post would have much impact given the relative obscurity of the topic.
If you plan to research the topic anyway and want to publish research notes, that seems reasonable, but I’d be wary of spending a lot of time to format your notes for other readers, unless you can present a clear value/action proposition to draw them in. (Even if you conclude that nanotech is important, there’s a separate question of what a reader is actually supposed to do about that.)
i’m not planning on necessarily writing a research paper or anything that is directly stating an answer—i would more of write something that encourages discussion.
i try to look for topics that are obscure and doesn’t really get too much coverage (and maybe pressing as well) - perhaps an example that fits into this category is an “wild animal welfare” where we don’t exactly know the impacts but could be something people consider and look into.
that being said, if it isn’t necessarily going to go anywhere, i should probably detain the idea until this gets maybe more coverage or is more pressing then i may write a post on it (conveying opinions on it).
