The myth about the origin of the Nobel prizes is that when Nobel’s brother died, newspapers mistakingly thought the wealthy, warmongering arms dealer had died and the obituaries were so uniformly awful and condemning that he decided to do something to make sure he would be remembered for something other than his actions

So he made sure the Nobel prizes would be founded after his death

All of which is to say that celebrating when monsters finally die saves lives

So, mock them mercilessly

(I say ‘myth’ because there is some uncertainty on whether it’s actually true, but it’s a good story and as we say here in Iceland: “Hafa skal það sem hljómar betur.”)
