Probably biology. Intuitions are weakest there rn. I think I get physics and chemistry as well as I ever will but biology seems to have lots of personal headroom

If the IQ points necessary to actually get the PhD come with it, then (1). If my current self is forced to toil away at a PhD until I get one, then (2).

Physics if post economic, biology if I wanted to make money afterwards. I think there are still huge gains to be made in ai x bio. I also have always wanted a big chunk of time to study physics.

i almost did 3 but would also consider 2. if i'm going to be deeply researching a topic for 7+ years, the experiments i'm running better be hands on and exciting. i was friends with some physics PhDs who had exclusively theoretical focus areas... never had to use their hands except to type and flip pages. not for me.
