It's time to realize that the Nobel Prize is a political popularity contest.
The Nobel Prize is as relevant as an Academy Award is to Hollywood, or as a Grammy is to music. It's not an award based on shear talent and effort... but instead is a political popularity contest, a social statement or a payoff.
Put it in your ignore bin. The Nobel Prize means nothing anymore. It lost any value it may have once had.
The last question my father asked whilst on his death bed, on Thursday October 13th 2016, around 13:00, was « who got the Nobel Litteracy Prize? ».
My Mum could not say, she had obviously been to busy to catch the news.
She then told me « Good that I couldn’t answer: it would have killed him. ».
My Dad was a really prolific writer (2’000 books, mostly in Croatian) and he would disapprove of Bob Dylan earning such a huge distinction for some pop songs.
Mum did not mean this as a joke, but we ended laughing and crying at the same time.
Well, the award was given started by Alfred Nobel for "DYNOMITE"...why can't the committee get back to it's roots...this award is like another award now. Make it mean something!!!!! Something that helps ALL OF MANKIND!!!!
Like the Japanese Doctor, who invented IVERMECTIN in 1986...WOWZA!!!
