   I think the Nobel committee are just making themselves look more and more foolish with this Peace Prize.

   The silliness will rub off on the other Nobel Prizes and that would be a pity.

   I think that the science prizes will stay ‘sound’ but the Peace Prize, like the literature prize, is subject to intellectual fashion, political idiocy and possible corruption. This is a shame as the Peace Prize has in the past to some deserving people like this one who warned about the rise of militarism in Germany

   The French were pretty unequivocal on that, are they not? And the science prizes – that’s an interesting one to delve into.
