I’m going to guess here, because you sound a little bit like my son…

The way I would tie together your interests, the political philosophy, the interest in activism, the Astronomy, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical (Weapons) Engineering, Nanotechnology, and Bio-neuro-technology, is that these are all things that will affect the future a lot. So I think maybe you have a passion for understanding where society is going, and how we are going to get there?

One thing you might do with all the books and articles you’ve devoured is make a list of everything you’ve read, and look it over and think about what you’ve most liked learning. That might help focus you, although wide interests are wonderful. Maybe you’re just a big picture kind of guy.
