Yeah. They gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize for no reason, right before he started as many wars as GWB did.
Like I said, the entire system is broke.

And he who is not sufficiently courageous to defend his soul — don’t let him be proud of his ‘progressive’ views, and don’t let him boast that he is an academician or a people’s artist, a distinguished figure or a general. Let him say to himself: I am a part of the herd and a coward. It’s all the same to me as long as I’m fed and kept warm.

"preprint study" To be completely factual, this study was never published. It failed at the 'preprint' stage. So it looks like the preprint step worked.
Whether or not this was a study that merited extra thorough review I couldn't say. There are hundreds of COVID papers published every day, from clinical notes to scientific studies. And that doesn't count the vast number that are rejected at the start from publication and never see the light of day.
IN GENERAL though, nobody gets their paper printed, hence their PhD, or their research grants, by trying to reproduce old studies. Instead they're rewarded for novel studies. So one of the main tenets of reliable scientific knowledge - reproducibility - is unrewarded by the research and publication system.

You've probably heard the old joke:
internists know nothing about everything
psychiatrists know everything about nothing
pathologists know everything about everything, but too late

Quote:To be fair, the Peace Prize isn't like the Nobel prizes in medicine or science: Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Nobel Prize in Physics, and Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. I think it's far more subjective, like the Nobel Prize in Literature.

They should probably change the name then.
Most people think of the Nobel Prize of any type as nothing more than people blowing each other like the Oscars anyhow.
Completely meaningless outside of its given circle.

The Nobel Prize made Republicans hate Obama even more than before, so the Prize failed:
Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Barack Obama failed to achieve what the Nobel committee hoped it would, its ex-secretary has said. Geir Lundestad told the AP news agency that the committee hoped the award would strengthen Mr Obama. Instead, the decision was met with criticism in the US by Republicans. Mr Obama considered not going to pick up the award in Norway's capital, Oslo. "Even many of Obama's supporters believed that the prize was a mistake," he says. "In that sense the committee didn't achieve what it had hoped for".

War criminal Henry Kissinger got the NOBEL Peace Prize in 1973

You can't get more ridiculous than that. I think the Nobel "Peace" Prize disqualified itself right there.

You're certainly not changing anybody's mind here.
In fact, with that admission, the committee themselves just let everyone know that they feel that award is nothing more than a tool to control how other people think.
Obama received that award completely without merit. Obama knew it. Even his supporters knew it.
It was a woke award before woke was even in the lexicon.
