> [@Chronos](#): > > Boebert is a “member of a national assembly”, and Vance and Noem are “ministers or cabinet members”. And, of course, they dispassionately looked through all of the possibilities and settled on the best one. Is that list just the peace prize or all of them? Politics aside would a physics professor be all that qualified to nominate someone for the medicine prize or vice versa? ---

Giving it to Obama a second time would piss him off. That would make me happy. ---

Hm, interesting, I’d never looked into it in detail before, but while unsolicited nominations are accepted for the Peace Prize, and a professor in an appropriate field from any university can submit, the submitters for the other prizes are by invitation only, and only from a select list of universities. I guess that the idea is that all physicists, say, will know what the biggest things going on in physics are, but that the awardees for the Peace Prize might be more obscure. ---

Googling, September. And actually the end of the nomination process is the end of January. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > It makes him crazy that Obama got a Nobel. He’s obsessed by it. And when he doesn’t win one, he’ll be telling the world what a meaningless nothing the Nobel Prize is. I’m reminded of a line from _Seinfeld_, where someone is relating to Elaine what George Constanza’s opinion is about something, and Elaine says, “but you see, the thing about George is, he’s an idiot”. The thing about Trump is, idiots can’t see themselves for who they are, due to the powerful force of the Dunning-Kruger effect. ---

I believe you have to be asked to nominate for the other prizes. I know this is true for Economics having been asked myself a few times. ---

Yes twice, but you are not supposed to say whom. The people I nominated the first time did not win. I nominated the same people the second time and they did share the prize. ---

He’s the Peace President! According to Leavett, he’s brokered peace deals all around the world. Economic pressure makes these countries jump. I wish, in the interest of peace, he could do something about that rogue country that keeps threatening Greenland, Canada, and Mexico.
