Trying to opt out of the system, radical alternatives such as ISIS or radical political parties seem to offer a tangible way to commit to a lifestyle that follows a higher purpose. How can we acknowledge these circumstances and deal with them and the effects in constructive ways? How can we create spaces for more engagement and agency, using new technologies and enable everyone to engage?
