    Veganism definitely has terrible PR. But we also have to be wary of cherry picking the extremists from a movement as representatives of the whole.

    I’d like to be 100% vegan, I’m not but I try. We started with weekday vegetarianism and went from there. Moderation is absolutely effective, IMO.

    What if bias start to grow within academic institutions?

    What if the public funding to those institutions influences which departments get more/less funding?

    I actually am asking genuinely because I would be happy to know we can improve on what we’ve got.

    I was thinking along your lines too, but have to concede the rebuttal as well. But I think we can still aim for the ideal of science proceeding as neutrally as possible once the funding is granted. Getting funding is the political interface. The question of “What should we do?” must be political, but “How should we do it?” can be left to science.

    It’s by momentum. The greater the momentum the greater the responsibility.

    Edit: To actually respond to your examples:

    1. No. It is the responsibility of the high mv cars not to enter the sidewalk, or to be incredibly cautious if they must.

    2. Yes. It is the responsibility of the high mv car to look far enough ahead to respond to low mv (or rather high delay v) obstacles ahead. If this sounds impractical, the design of highways and the illegality of a pedestrian entering one makes unavoidable incidents of car-hitting-pedestrian-on-highway low enough to be practical.
