Through academic excellence and inclusive outreach programs, the Mark Sanders foundation helps deepen understanding through innovation in philosophy for a more informed world.

You can have too much to eat.
You can do too much exercise in the gym.

Talese thinks you can.
Bob Tliese welcome to philosophy Bites.
Thank you for having me, Dave.
It's a pleasure to be here.
The topic we're talking about today is overdoing democracy.
Now that sounds like a contradiction in terms.
