Time to decide

I’ve reached the point in my education in political science where I have to choose. Choose a subject I wish to pursue. It can be anything. That’s not me however.

Up until this point I’ve gathered lots of information on many different subjects I find interesting. Some are links to news, some from books, some from websites and some are student or doctoral thesises. All of a sudden I find myself unable to actually choose one subject, one political level and one method to focus on. Perhaps this is me, after all, having too many options.

The different topics so far concern privacy, both personal and collective; weaponization of social media, especially against women; cybersecurity and feminism; computational propaganda and the nation state or the municipality; knowledge of personal data and GDPR among political parties; information/data wars between nation states; the introduction of 5G and cybersecurity dimensions of 5G on a municipal level; and, finally, the debate (or lack of debate) on surveillance equipment, such as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), traffic intelligence or bulk intelligence gathering.

Huh.
