1/ [Unresearched, Speculative, Thinking Out Loud] I would like to see (and I'm sure it exists) studies on the number of identities represented in mass media over time. I assume that the number has grown. And I wonder if *increased* prejudice is a natural consequence.

I think you are on to something. My touchstone for how we process the outside world is Lippmann "Public Opinion" which I think you've referenced before. Still true today. Human brain is a very blunt, easily manipulated, error prone tool for processing complexity.

Lippmann is still incredible...nearly 100 years later!
