The most radical lifestyle I believe is one in which we choose to actually live, that is to make our own decisions based on an unmediated direct relationship with our own life. Not to follow other people's direction (especially me) but instead to investigate and to try to understand to the best of our abilities how best to lead our life.
It's no co-incidence that both Thoreau and Gandhi referred to the way they lived their life as experiments. Not beholden to some mediated truth but intent on direct living and experiencing reality for themselves.
