Which should I focus my time on if I were trying to build an AGI? Intelligence research or cognition research?

Intuitive answer;
Study whatever gets you a job at one of the large companies that invests heavily in the area. Stay healthy and hope to live very long. Expect failure.
Or
study biology and philosophy; aim for AGI not based on current (currently hyped) concepts. Be prepared to fail.

Assuming AGI=Artificial general intelligence

Do you mean to build one as a private initiative, keeping it secret, to be part of a team that manages to create the first one, or something else?

Edit: just noted another thread providing details

I want to try and throw myself at the hardest problem possible so I can go on a life long journey.

..before you can walk, you must learn to crawl.

Starting with difficult problems at the beginning causes loss of interest, burnout and overall failure.
