More useless than the Oscars for finding genuine masterpieces

The nature of the prize itself, its conditions as founded and the expectations for what is to be honored, prioritize claptrap such as "humanism", "idealism" and so on. In other words, truth itself is not a priority. When, in high school, I read that awful book called "The Dwarf" by Pär Lagerkvist, its front cover proudly announcing that the author was a Nobel Prize winner, when I found the book itself to be interminable, this was my first indication that the opinions of the Nobel people are bereft of value.

Nor is the illegitimacy of the prize limited to its "soft" categories (Dylan, Kissinger, Arafat, Obama simply for being a black guy who got elected and not being that awful awful Bush who we all hate so very very much*, etc). In recent years, in one of the science categories, it was awarded to those deemed most directly responsible for the mRNA vaccine technology which precipitated the covid jab.

*By way of disclaimer, I also personally hate George W. Bush , and therefore don't defend him with the above remark. The point is that the only real reason why they gave Obama the prize was for the reasons just given.
