People who tend to accept things authority figures tell them without some sort of critical analysis I feel are the most threatened by unfamiliar ideas.

I'll listen to just about anybody talk about anything. I don't find other people's beliefs particularly threatening no matter what they are. I often have people open up to me and tell me all sorts of strange stuff that I don't think they'd mention to anyone else. I have certainly had some interesting plane conversations.
