re: #36 Killgore Trout

He’ll give the money to some charity. It will go to good use.

I am sure it will go to some sort of charity, or possibly some political watchdog nonprofit or something like that. But whether it will go to good use as a result remains to be seen.

Also, of course, it might depend on one’s definition of “good use.” (If it goes to something like microlending, or effective health initiatives somewhere, or the Red Cross, that would make me very happy.)

The Nobel Committee could have chosen where the money would go. That they decided to leave it up to someone else is, IMHO, an abdication of responsibility.
