This attitude doesn't help when typically in a collision, the cyclist needs medical treatment.

Traffic is a complex real-time action game where there are serious consequences if people make mistakes. So the best approach is to be predictable within the traffic rules.

So for a cyclist, don't get in the path of a 'killing machine' when the car has priority and when the cyclist has priority look for clues that the car is actually going to stop.

Like no shit, I never said cyclists shouldn't obey the rules, but motorists should be held to a much higher standard from a legal perspective because of the insane amounts of damage that can be inflicted by jerking around on Instagram while driving, for example.

I've ridden around cities my whole life on bikes and you can obey all the rules you like, you're still completely vulnerable when it comes to dangerous, inattentive driving.

Cars, for the most part, really are a stupid idea, especially in cities.

Get yourself a consistent worldview. Anything else is susceptible to the principle of explosion.

Well it is the law. A cyclists will never go to jail for running into a car. So I think my world view is pretty consistent.
