There is nothing new under the sun

Searching for a thesis topic, I'm beginning to realise, is one of the hardest things to do. Nobody wants to write on a topic that has been dealt with ad nausem. It's like flogging a dead horse.

Apologetics? Bioethics? Or just intellectual gymnastics?

Someone commented to me last night, "Don't fudge confusion with confusion."

If that's not being innovative, what is?
