So, just the other day I spoke with one of the teachers convening one of three of the requisite tutorials for my Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts, and she very confidently informed me that what I had figured out for my graduating project (which is an unusual thing, as usually one does not do anything of the sort until at the VERY earliest of a master's degree) was in fact Ph.D. material and she was more than willing to try to push this to her contacts internationally. That is to say - I will be translating a portion of my project into Chinese.
There is a good chance that what I've managed to arrange and figure out may well be globally recognized and with every instructor I have spoken with, this project seems to have struck a 'much needed' niche. Meaning that I have, simply put, struck the nail on the head.
WHAT is it, you ask? N'yuh uh. I will not present this material until I have a solid basis under-way. WHY? Because I just plain don't trust the world. For me to have happened upon such a thing, it is not until I have found my own place in history and given this to the world for FREE *yes* FREE that I will be happy with what I have achieved. At that point I will be more than happy to disseminate the information.
Quite plainly - I don't want Joe-blow stealing my work. I've already put more than 250 hours into it, and it will come to close to 10,000 hours when all is said and done. Every week this project sees more than 30 hours of thought and 10 hours of concentrated work. To give a concrete idea, I started thinking of this properly with detailed thought from April (actually, considerably before, but that was the time that I started really making noises about what I wanted and having a solid idea of what it was I was doing)... that means that while it's been 250 hours of WORK involved, there have been 750 hours of thought and mulling over ideas involved... already 1000 hours. I still have 18 months more for the BASE of this whole project... and then 2 years for further detail, and 2 years more after that... meaning there will be 10,000 hours of WORK, and 30,000 hours of thought. So - perhaps one understands just why I'm not going to let some wannabe hack steal it from me before I can cement my name to it, and GIVE it to the world as I intend it to be...
This is probably the least informative thing I've written since I started university. Intentionally so. More will come. I believe I have stumbled upon my 'life's work' early. Hopefully I'm right. And if I am... MAYBE... just MAYBE... if I did get this right, like I think I MIGHT have... I MIGHT... just MIGHT... change the world. I certainly hope so.
