Wasn’t trying to stake out a claim there. Since you ask, though, I’d expect under half of LW contributors to identity as rationalists in the sense of belonging to a movement, and I wouldn’t be surprised if those people were also more likely to identify as effective altruists.
The survey unfortunately doesn’t give us the tools to prove this directly, but we probably could correlate between meetup attendance and EA identification.

A good point. And speaking of, why did this whole idea of LW being a “movement” pop up?
LW is a movement like Something Awful is a movement. At least the Goonies used to be able to whistle up large fleets in Eve… X-D
I imagine the Craft and the Community sequence has something to do with it.
