When making the case for SI’s comparative advantage, you point to these things:
… [A]nd the ability to do unusual things that are nevertheless quite effective at finding/creating lots of new people interested in rationality and existential risk reduction: (1) The Sequences, the best tool I know for creating aspiring rationalists, (2) Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, a surprisingly successful tool for grabbing the attention of mathematicians and computer scientists around the world...
each question (posted as a comment on this page) that follows the template described below will receive a reply from myself or another SI representative.
I appreciate you folks are busy, but I’m going to bump as it has been more than a week. Besides, it strikes me as an important question given the prominence of these things to the claim that SI can buy x-risk reduction more effectively than other orgs.
I’m bumping this again because there’s been no response to this question (three weeks since asking), and I poked Luke via PM a week ago. Given this is the main plank supporting SI’s claim that it is a good way of spending money, I think this question should be answered.

You can PM Luke if you want. It’s the “Send message” button next to the username on the user page.
