The target audience is readers who would be interested in science-based self-improvement if it was presented to them - people who have a college education, and who like to read broad venues such as Slate, Salon, Huffington Post, etc. The aim of the article is to convey that our thinking is inherently flawed, but can be improved to be less wrong by using rationality-informed strategies, and to encourage people to use these strategies.

As far as I understand the article's title get's written by the editor anyway, so there not much to gain from thinking hard about the title.
