    This is meaningless, pretty much anyone can be nominated. All it takes is a letter sent by any professor of history, social science, law, philosophy, or religion.

    A Nobel Prize nomination is the academic equivalent of “Here, have an upvote”.

      Is it the Norwegian guy?

      Edit: Yes it’s the Norwegian guy. He does this every year. Also his nominations are invalid. You’re not allowed to publicise that you’ve nominated someone. Nominations are secret, they never announce that someone who was nominated “didn’t win”. I wish people would stop feeding this troll every year.

      So what your saying is if I was a professor I could make bank nominating people for a fee?

      Anybody can win the award as well. These awards are meaningless.
