Wordpress version now up. http://nervemag.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/why-are-smart-people-so-stupid/

ETA: unfortunately it can't be changed. It can be re-uploaded but then they'd lose the view stats.
The brief description of Less Wrong in that article will sound very strange to anyone not already familiar with us.

Julia Galef is quoted as Julie Galef on page 21.

A friend of mine runs Nerve, the new science magazine at the university where I work, and I offered to write about rationality for their second issue. The article is just out, with some quotes from some people you might recognise! Enjoy.
EDIT: the Wordpress version is now up, for those allergic to Flash.
