It's irrelevant in the context of the original discussion, but you got to hear yourself talk. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] umbrella@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) And your point is wrong because you keep boiling it down to simple black and white. The Nobel prize is not purely political and is not devoid of merit. The world is not full of binary systems. It's made of multi variable systems where multiple influences can be true at the same time. If you want to make a point about why accurately predicting the structure of hundreds of thousands of proteins doesn't deserve the Nobel in chemistry then I'm all ears. Please tell us all exactly why you think their prize was political and not meritocratic, and why predicting protein structures automatically is not important? Because if you can't answer that very specific question, then you weren't making a point relevant to the conversation, you were making a snide generalization to hear yourself speak. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies)
