Wired would probably a good magazine for this.

I'm not sure, I get the impression the people reading wired are people who like to think of themselves as rational, but aren't necessarily.

Do you mean something like "...people reading wired are people who would bristle at being told they aren't already rational, because their self image depends greatly on seeing themselves as rational"?
