    In the histories they tell, high status intellectuals suggest that status in their field is given out mainly for inducing insight & progress. But as status is given there mostly as usual everywhere, high status folks less cause progress than they suggest. https://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/10/intellectual-status-isnt-that-different.html …

        Isn't the Nobel prize both an indicator of status and a recognition of great insight and progress in certain fields?

        It is less so than it appears.

        So monopolies of status and attention reduce incentives for innovation. Just like in any other market.

        While the marketing and PR departments of the monopolists write hagiographies about themselves and their respective intellectual industries.

        A more practical implication: those who actually want to contribute more to progress should spend more effort convincing high status indivs to adopt their position as that of the high standard individual's own.
