Connor Boyack, creator of the wildly popular Tuttle Twins series, joins The Free Thought Project Podcast this week for an expansive, energizing conversation on liberty-based education, parenting in the surveillance age, and how to raise young minds that can think critically in a world full of propaganda.
Inspired by the Ron Paul revolution, Connor shares the origin story of Tuttle Twins, a project that started with a simple idea: give kids the tools to understand freedom, economics, and government power before the system conditions them otherwise. Since then, his books have sold millions of copies, been translated around the globe, and adapted into an animated series now being aired by governments and networks worldwide. Connor walks us through the thinking behind these projects and how he balances complex political and economic themes with fun, engaging storytelling that kids actually want to read. We discuss titles like The Creature from Jekyll Island and The Fate of the Future, and ask Connor which books he thinks have been the most impactful—and why.
Then the conversation shifts to today’s battleground: the digital domain. We ask how parents can protect their children’s minds and privacy as they're increasingly targeted by algorithmic dopamine loops, doomscrolling, and even AI tools marketed as “friends” or “therapists.” We also explore the darker realities of flock cameras, Palantir data fusion hubs, and the emerging technocratic surveillance grid—and what it all means for the next generation.
Finally, we close with our signature “white pill” segment, where Connor offers one of the most grounded and hopeful answers we’ve heard yet: that connection—with our kids, at the dinner table, in real conversation, is the antidote to indoctrination. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of liberty, parenting, or resisting the growing mental control matrix of the modern world.
