"Having a thesis" sounds like an intellectual theory, but if I may expand it into "having an explanation of experience" or a "mythology" or "metaphysics" I think it's impossible NOT to have one. Anthropologists find that all mankind, however "remote" or primitive, has an explanation of the origin and destiny of mankind (this may just be themselves) > In contrast, while I hold certain beliefs and have certain ideas and > thoughts which are relatively static, and as such less apt to easily > change than some others, I am here to expand on them, even if it means > they change from what they were.

As said, the academical approach where a thesis is criticized and defended in a doctoral dispute can't be done with the MOQ because what it wants to overturn IS academy, or create a new one. But for all I know your thesis may be of a similar magnitude, we'll see.
