"The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way: the capital, invested in safe securities by my executors, shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind. The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows:
...
...one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction; 

The Swedish Academy takes seriously the charge given it by Alfred Nobel in his will. The "ideal direction" criterion is unique to the literature prize and the Academy has seriously debated whether an author's work, say that of Ernest Hemingway, is "outstanding" and "in an ideal direction." Nobel did not desire the prize be awarded to a creator of snuff films. A certificate accompanies each award and on it the Academy very briefly states its reasons. In the first three decades of the literature awards  the Academy used variations of "idealistically" on almost one-third of the certificates.

I DARE the Swedish Academy to award a Nobel Prize for literature to an author whose work is in this direction:

"There's no such thing as life without bloodshed. I think the notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone could live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. Those who are afflicted with this notion are the first ones to give up their souls, their freedom. Your desire that it be that way will enslave you and make your life vacuous."
