Nobel Commitee still all there? 
Since a while now this institution seems to settle on decisions that make you wonder whether they are really interested in the task, or maybe mentally irritated.

Now they elected the inspectors of chemiocal weaponry as bearer of the Nobel Peace Prize.


...

Correct me if memory fails on me, but aren´t those inspectors highly paid specialist who are being sent to do such jobs ( and on top likely paid for all the time in between, when they are not in due)!?

What has that to do with idealist that engages himself for peace?
And did we not just have an example of peace making in Egypt where some elderly and a priest appeaced moslems and coptic christians from attacking each other?

And could there not be had much more example of philanthropist, volatile or exhausting engagement?

I bet Mr. Nobel would kick these old blackguards butts for waisting his money so carelessly while badly disregarding actually suiting spirits.

Seems you really can´t count with decent curators. They just tend to corrupt and rotten.

Just look at Wilhelm Reich´s legacy.
His daughter did not trust herself to administrate adequately, so she handed it over to someone else, who seems to have been anything but being up to the task.

I asked the admins why they had removed very informative contents of original protocolling documents from their website and they didn´t even know what contents that be.
They also put off scientists who were interested in submitting.
Similar with the economics of it which I quite suspect to have gone into private benefits instead of into spreading the spirit.

If you were an inspired person with huge assets, would you know how to ensure loyal curatorship ( if that´s the right term) for after your passing?
Guess not. Right?

Too little free will and style there to grant curatory of a last will.

Rant over.

Many years ago in Madrid, I found a wall tile which seemed to sum up my philosophy. I bought it and still have it, hanging on the kitchen wall.
