I would love to read some historical and theoretical analysis of how certain prizes came to be prestigious - the Pulitzer, Nobel prizes, etc.

Presumably lots of prizes are established prizes. What determines which gain (and lose) high status?

I've just an idea for a crazily unethical experiment:

- pick ~20 minor celebrities
- randomise into two halves
- half you leave alone
- half, you buy a bot army which responds with enthusiastic endorsement whenever they say anything edgy, conspiratorial or political on social media
- come back in ~6 months and see how the behaviour of each group has changed

I think we're all living with the consequences of this being done already, but for politics rather than science
