In this conversation, Aaron Stupple discusses the themes of his book, 'The Sovereign Child,' which challenges conventional parenting norms. The discussion explores the importance of agency, autonomy, and trust in parenting, emphasizing the need for children to learn through experience rather than strict rules.

Aaron Stupple is a practicing physician, former middle school and high school science teacher, and co-founder of the nonprofit Conjecture Institute. He has been promoting critical rationalism and the work of Karl Popper and David Deutsch since 2018, most prominently through Rat Fest, an annual in-person conference. Aaron lives in Western Massachusetts with his wife and five children.
