Psychics. Horrible fraudsters praying on the grief and loss of good people. It's amazing how when a magician does the same tricks, we try to figure out how they did it, but when a self-proclaimed psychic does the same thing, so many people turn off their brains and accept whatever they say.

Creationists. But only when they "turn it on," so to speak. Most I know are very nice people (there are a select few who are the most vile humans I've ever heard of, but in their case creationism is a symptom of a greater rot) but as soon as it kicks off, they fall into every trap and pitfall they set for themselves.

People who dismiss or are even hostile to science and academia in general. Just, WTF? Pathological.
