Martin Heidegger's concept of Enframing (*Gestell*) — the modern tendency to see everything as a resource to be exploited or a problem to be solved — perfectly captures Holmes's 'curse.' Heidegger argues that modern technology and scientific thinking enframe the world: we cannot see a river without thinking of hydroelectric power, or a forest without thinking of lumber. Holmes enframes everything as a 'problem': people become clues, emotions become data, relationships become cases. Heidegger warns that enframing is the 'supreme danger' (*höchste Gefahr*) because it prevents us from experiencing the world's mystery — its irreducibility to categories and solutions. Holmes's confession — 'it is my curse' — is a Heideggerian insight: he recognises that his way of seeing, though powerful, has closed off other ways of being. He sees the world clearly but cannot wonder at it. This is the price of total rationality: the world becomes legible but ceases to be meaningful.
