The Larger-and-More-Diverse the group, the less likely that bias and prejudice will Prevail-for-Long AND the more likely that there will be Diverse-Conflicts within the Diverse-Group. The Smaller-an-Less-Diverse the group, the more likely that bias and prejudice will Prevail-for-Long AND the less likely that there will be Diverse-Conflicts within the Diverse-Group. Diverse-Conflicts can be minimized by minimizing the Size-and-Diversity of the group; but at the cost of increasing the probability that Bias-and-Prejudices will Dominate-the-Group. To the extent that a group is Dominated-by- Domineering-People there will be an increased level of Enduring-Conflicts and an increased level of costs of Disintegrative-Thoughts-and-Activities. To the extent that a group is Led-by-True-Lovers there will be a decreased level of Encouraging-Conflicts and a decreased level of costs of Disintegrative-Thoughts- and-Activities.
