“His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -- the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans -- and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, 'You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink." - Terry Pratchett

None of these fit for TPO Ikkit's definition.
Which is more in line with what Q told Picard at the end of "All Good Things"
"You just don't get it, do you, Jean-Luc? The trial never ends. We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and your horizons. And for one brief moment, you did."
"When I realized the paradox."
"Exactly. For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you had never considered. That is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence."
Now, Ikkit, on the other hand, ALSO can't vote in this poll, because, well...
"Never met a 'genius' as didn't scream when you stabbed 'em in the balls, so I reckon they're the same as anyone else!"
