The Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo defines the post-modern thought as “the important things are not the facts but its interpretation”. The same as time depends on the relative position of the observer, certainty of a fact is not more than that, a relatively interpreted truth and there fore, uncertain.

At a time where God existence is publicly questioned on ad spaces and the Meta message is that the best you can do is to live your life to the fullest. In a sort of 2.0 nihilism paraphrasing Nietzsche, that questioned all the previous dogmatic philosophy and through questioning God he preached to live life as an only objective of human beings, therefore his main problem is the way you should live.

In this times that there isn’t an only truth for everybody, but each one chooses who to believe in colloquial terms or philosophical who to follow in twitter or who to read in the blogsphere. Where the official truth is tainted with questioning and nothing is black and white anymore.

The determinist model of chance, the truth of subject Hegel, Kant and even Marx and lineal time theories such as Leibniz’s are questioned.

For Sartre (more existentialist than post-modern) “human beings are not other than what they have made of themselves”, what makes each of us the solely responsible of our lives and our own achievements. As entrepreneurs capable of forge its own future, it is another component that is incorporated to our current life.

Heidergger, stated that human beings life is not more than an eternal exploration journey without specific orientation and a litlle of this exploration I think it became real in the way that million people turn into the Internet to talk about their lives and to follow other people’s lives.

Where to live life to the fullest means to do things and share them with the rest where all live as if we were the leading roles of the Truman Show, with web tools such as

• Youtube, allow you to broadcast yourself, publishing the videos you want to the World,
• Facebook or MySpace share all the content that you are capable of generating with your friends and the friends of you friends.
• Twitter, to stay updated on the details of other people’s activities.
• Latitude telling your friends instantly your location on google maps
• And so many web tools like this blog that let me think collectively.

We have to see if this hyper connectivity generates more communication, or it is just the effect of personal branding that generate several followers or friends, but the only thing for sure is that all this elements combined with technology that amplify them are a sign of the times.

Plus Twitter for dummies:
