YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMost parents assume controlling their children is love. Physician and author Aaron Stupple disagrees, and he spars with Peter Boghossian over whether children are full-status humans and if "coercive parenting" and schooling are philosophically and educationally defensible.
Grounding his ideas in Karl Popper and David Deutsch, Aaron advocates for a "sovereign child" framework that forces a vital question most people have never seriously entertained: What gives you the right?
