Combining two or even three particular topics can the thing that you specialize in.
Or even combining two or three topics with 5 or 6 ways to debias… if you’re going to go to the effort of combining several academic subjects in one mind, it is almost certainly worth the effort of adding in the subject of “heuristics and biases/rationality arts”; at the cost of learning 1 more subject, you’ll improve your performance across the board, and in particular you’ll improve your ability to combine subjects as you’ll be in a good position to dispassionately weigh the merits of various approaches and synergies.
FYI, I had replied to the previous version of the comment.
