To: Dahoser; burzum
No, you’re confusing my response. I’m commenting on Pillut48 saying the signal that the Nobels are politicized was when Jimmah got his Peace Prize.

No, I don't think Burzum is confused; I think you are, Dahoser.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of the Norwegian Parliament. That makes its awarding inherently political.

The prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded by the Nobel Assembly, which is a committee composed of scientists.

You can't conflate two different awards given by two entirely different bodies. The Peace Prize is extremely political; the science prizes usually aren't. The Prize in Economics (awarded by Sweden's Central Bank) is simply incoherent.
