Interesting essay on economics and the notion of self-interested rationality, discussing what seem to be large gaping exceptions thereto. I've been reading his blog for a while (found it when researching an open-source stats package, oddly enough) and I often find it interesting; in fact I'm even taking a class this semester on the psychology of risk, in which I imagine I'll be reading about the same sorts of things that he studies.
