The spectacular rise of Jordan Peterson has caught much of the world flat-footed. Discussions of the psychology professor from the University of Toronto tend to focus on the enormous popular movement his lectures have spawned, rather than the actual ideas presented in the lectures themselves. As a result, no one seems to know who the "real" Jordan Peterson is.
In a way, this is understandable. Peterson is a man of several personae. One Peterson is the inventor of an innovative and compelling neuropsychological model of human behavior. This is the Peterson presented in a dozen research articles reviewed and published by his academic peers.
Another Peterson dispenses pieces of practical advice and dispels progressive dogmas with a quiet, fatherly charisma. This is the Peterson made famous in podcasts, television interviews, and his best selling self-help book.

Condom Challenge
This 'classic' challenge reappeared on the internet over the last few days. It involves snorting condoms up the nose and attempting to pull it through the nasal cavity and out of the mouth. Aside from the associated the vomit-inducing sounds, this maneuver is life-threatening. It can cause the person to choke or suffocate - all the while looking damn foolish.
Condom Challenge MK 2
Incredibly there is more than one way to use a prophylactic for the amusement of the baying internet public. However, both toy with potential suffocation and death. This challenge involves filling a condom with water and then putting the airtight pleasure sack over your face and attempting not to drown.
The search term "Condom Challenge" will bring up more than 279,000 results on YouTube, most of which show young people performing this gross and dangerous trick.
In the stunt, a teen takes a condom up one nostril and attempt to pull it out of their mouth or out of the other nostril. This is actually a trick that has been performed by professionals in sideshows for generations. However, none of these kids are professionals and many of them are getting sick and risking permanent damage to their bodies.
In a recent column for Forbes, Bruce Y. Lee, a Johns Hopkins professor said, "anything else that goes up your nose can damage the sensitive inner lining of your nose, cause an allergic reaction, or result in an infection."
Doctor Carol Cooper told The Sun that this stunt could even kill someone.

Eagle-eyed Ben Nimmo, a fellow at the Atlantic Council, has tweeted advice for Twitter users to help them identify "Russian troll-factory accounts" on the social media platform.
What gives the Russian trolls away, Nimmo advises, is their tendency to use imperfect English. For example, Nimmo highlights the "inability" of so-called Russian trolls to use the words 'a' or 'the' because the Russian language itself does not use definite or indefinite articles.
Comment: Ben Nimmo is propagandist tool and working the troll factory himself! :wink:

Muslih Sheikh Khalil, 24, is treated at Gaza City’s al-Shifa hospital for an injury caused by a bullet that fragmented in his leg.

Palestinians are calling for escalating global campaigns to isolate Israel after its army killed 16 people in the Gaza Strip and wounded almost 1,500 others.
Meanwhile, Israel has rejected calls for an international investigation and its defense minister has commended soldiers on Friday's slaughter.
"Evoking memories of the South African apartheid regime's massacre of peaceful protesters in Sharpeville in 1960, Israel's military committed a new massacre against Palestinian civilians as they were peacefully commemorating Palestinian Land Day," the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC) said Monday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin pauses during a news conference in Ankara, Turkey, April 3, 2018
"Tomorrow we convene a session of the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in order to sort out this situation in detail. We have prepared at least 20 questions for discussion. We hope that this discussion will put an end to this issue," Putin said in Ankara, where he held a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In a rare comment on the case, in which the UK is accusing Moscow of poisoning former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia with a military-grade nerve agent, Putin said he was baffled by how quickly the incident turned into a full-blown attack on Russia.
Comment:
- Russia's 13 questions to OPCW over Skripal case
- 20 more questions that need to be answered about the Skripal case
- The UK's narrative in Skripal case has discrepancies - but dissent is not allowed
- Russian Foreign Ministry: Analysis of Skripal case suggests UK intel services involved in incident
- We Can Actively Assume That Skripal Was Poisoned by The British Government
A jury found ex-attorney Mark Benavides guilty on six counts of continuous trafficking of persons on Tuesday.
Benavides is accused of trading legal services for sex with his female clients, then recording those sexual encounters.
During the trial, San Antonio Police Department detective Manual Morales testified that police found a filing cabinet at Benavides' home containing 246 of what the detective called "pornographic DVDs" that showed Benavides having sex with women who police said were Benavides' clients.
Some of the graphic and sexually explicit videos were played for jurors. A video was so graphic that a female juror fainted as the panel left the courtroom last Tuesday.
Comment: Police have identified the woman behind the shooting as Nasim Aghdam of San Diego, California. Four people were injured after Aghdam opened fire at the YouTube campus. Adgdam was found dead inside the complex, police believe she committed suicide.
