    Not my fault the folks who came up with the prize shoved peace into the name, just noting that the invention of dynamite is 100 percent of great enough importance to earn a price being named after the inventor. Personally I think we should name each fields prize after a notable and respected person within the field for example Curie prize of nuclear physics, Sagan prize of astronomy, Darwin prize of biology, Tolkien prize of English literature et cetera. Fuck you Fritz Haber, you don’t get a prize you may have fed more than have ever died since civilization but mustard gas is horrifying get fucked.

      That’s actually a good idea! I think we should name oilsands tailings ponds after the politicians who allowed them to happen.
