I admit I don't know how Nobels are awarded. Poster #1
has been ranting about it a lot. Most Nobelists are ordinary
people. They are practically all from Western countries. These
days, they do some lab work or some such thing, and keep
looking through their microscopes, and then an announcement
is made they found something big. They get nominated.
Nomination from others in the field is the key. Without that
there is no possibility of getting the prize. There are more
people looking through microscopes in Western countries.
The institutions where they work and other affiliated universities
and so on know how to play this game. And get the prizes to
their candidates.
Except in a few exceptional cases, the whole process is more
contrived than anything else. In general, the Nobel prize has
no more value than a run of the mill doctoral dissertation except
for the prize money. I really don't know anything about Jews much
less how they became involved in this racket.
So if you look at the Nobel prize as a big deal you are not
very smart. If you are not from a Western country don't
even bother about it. It is not indicative of anything except
in a very few special cases.
The ranter and raver has no answer why no one in Israel
has received this largely meaningless recognition where
Jews live and Israel has been in existence for some
sixty years or so I guess. The ranter and raver should also
explain why Jews don't look like Ethiopians which is how
they looked in Biblical times.
You also wonder why with all these Nobel prize winners
living on every street, hitech Western companies want more
and more highly skilled professionals from other countries.
