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...

What evidence supports these claims?

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.

(especially compare to Holden's post)
