Given that it'd already killed someone, I'm going to nominate the second guy who thought he could cowboy criticality testing with the Demon Core at Los Alamos.
By coincidence, at this moment I am camped on a mountain overlooking the Los Alamos NL.

Louis Slotin: smartest dumb guy or dumbest smart guy in history?
That’s an absolutely bonkers read; thank you.
He was more of a reckless rocket enthusiast grifting Flat -Earthers to find his latest near-suicidal venture.
Don’t do it man. The Demon Core isn’t worth it! No man should wield such power and it’s folly to try!
Don't forget to stop at Bathtub Brewery before you head out!
