Stu-Topia: The Reduction in the Infant Mortality Rate Deserves Praise, Not Dismissal

http://stu-topia.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-reduction-in-infant-mortality-rate.html

On the world wide web. Monday, March 03, 2014. The Reduction in the Infant Mortality Rate Deserves Praise, Not Dismissal. I notice people saying "Hunter-gatherer life expectancy was only lower than those of modern Europeans and Americans because hunter-gatherers had a higher infant morality rate. When you factor out their higher infant mortality rate, you find that if a hunter-gatherer lived past his first year, he would have the the same life expectancy as that of a modern Western European.". Secondly, ...

Stu-Topia: The Customer Isn't King, Nor Should He Be: Why Howard Roark Is Right and Supposed Libertarian Economists Are Wrong

http://stu-topia.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-customer-isnt-king-nor-should-he-be.html

On the world wide web. Monday, November 10, 2014. The Customer Isn't King, Nor Should He Be: Why Howard Roark Is Right and Supposed Libertarian Economists Are Wrong. Stuart K. Hayashi. Ayn Rand the Anti-Capitalist? The right-wing economist Mark Skousen, who founded Freedom Fest and is popular in libertarian circles, proclaims. That Roark's statement proves inconsistent with free-market economics. But the goal of all rational entrepreneurship must be to satisfy the needs of consumers, not to ignore them!

Stu-Topia: Holding Unvaccinated Households Civilly Liable for Transmitting Pathogens Would Incentivize Vaccination

http://stu-topia.blogspot.com/2015/02/holding-unvaccinted-households-civilly.html

On the world wide web. Sunday, February 08, 2015. Holding Unvaccinated Households Civilly Liable for Transmitting Pathogens Would Incentivize Vaccination. Stuart K. Hayashi. Instead of having command-and-control mandates forcing everyone to be vaccinated, I think individuals should be able to be held civilly liable if they transmit diseases that they could have been vaccinated against. Some people have told me that they don't like my idea because it's too difficult to prove Person A. Posted by Stuart K&#...

Stu-Topia: How to Achieve High Vaccination Rates Without Forcing a Command-and-Control Vaccination Edict on Everyone

http://stu-topia.blogspot.com/2015/02/how-to-achieve-high-vaccination-rates.html

On the world wide web. Wednesday, February 04, 2015. How to Achieve High Vaccination Rates Without Forcing a Command-and-Control Vaccination Edict on Everyone. Stuart K. Hayashi. And I think that a family choosing to vaccinate would be a legal protection against such lawsuits. Under those circumstances, there wouldn't be a command-and-control edict forcing everyone to be. Vaccinated, but individuals would still be incentivized to vaccinate. Posted by Stuart K. Hayashi. Wednesday, February 04, 2015.

http://stu-topia.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-death-o-my-namesake.html

On the world wide web. Saturday, May 03, 2014. The Death of My Namesake. Stuart K. Hayashi. The actor Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., died this week. Rest in Peace. :-(. I am actually named after him. Yes, I am Efrem Zimbalist III. Hee-hee; just kidding. This is how I am named after him. In the TV series 77 Sunset Strip. He played a detective named Stuart Bailey. My father said, "Stuart Bailey is so suave and sophisticated. If I name my son Stuart, he will also turn out suave and sophisticated.".

Stu-Topia: The Encrypted E-Mail Serivce Edward Snowden Used: An Explicit 'Atlas Shrugged' Connection

http://stu-topia.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-encrypted-e-mail-serivce-edward.html

On the world wide web. Saturday, January 18, 2014. The Encrypted E-Mail Serivce Edward Snowden Used: An Explicit 'Atlas Shrugged' Connection. Stuart K. Hayashi. Do you remember how, in his first few months on the run, Edward Snowden used the encrypted e-mail service LavaBit? And do you remember how, when the federal government demanded that LavaBit had over sensitive information on Snowden and its other users, LavaBit decided to shut down completely. Rather than capitulate to the State? Asher Wolfstein: ...

Stu-Topia: Taking the Red Pill

http://stu-topia.blogspot.com/2014/08/taking-red-pill.html

On the world wide web. Sunday, August 24, 2014. Taking the Red Pill. Stuart K. Hayashi. I had never before met this deep-voiced, trench coat-wearing man. But something I noticed right away was that he insisted on wearing sunglasses indoors, in this barely-lit room. He offered me a choice. He told me I could take his red pill or his blue pill. I opted for the red pill. Then I woke up in the hospital. I needed to have my stomach pumped. Posted by Stuart K. Hayashi. Sunday, August 24, 2014.

Stu-Topia: Godzilla Movies for Beginners: Which Movies to Start With, and Other Notes

On the world wide web. Monday, January 26, 2015. Godzilla Movies for Beginners: Which Movies to Start With, and Other Notes. Stuart K. Hayashi. 1973), and it made me want to see more. But it occurred to me that if an adult chose that as his first Godzilla movie, it would probably turn him off from the rest of the series. The same applies to Godzilla's Revenge. All of the entries are mixed bags, and therefore I cannot anticipate what would or wouldn't be tolerable. For example, Godzilla vs. Gigan. Another...

Stu-Topia: March 2015

http://stu-topia.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

On the world wide web. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Gotham' Is 'The Loner Show'. Stuart K. Hayashi. I think of Gotham. Selina Kyle, the street kid who will become Catwoman, also spends most of her time alone, believing that getting by as a homeless thief is the one way to maintain her independence. The interactions between Bruce and Selina, when they are both 'tweens, also shows the distinction between "loner" and "introvert.". Doesn't mean "always being alone" and. James Gordon is always surrounded by peo...
