Do you feel the Great Numbness?
It's that subtle, high-frequency vibration you experience every time you pick up your phone. It's the sensation of the world becoming thinner. Decisions are easier. Answers are instant. Your needs are met before you even have the energy to voice them.
The Technoligarchs call this Seamlessness. They market it as the ultimate liberation from the friction of being human. But Bernd Riemann's forensic audit reveals a much darker reality: That Seamlessness is actually the sound of a surgical blade.
In The Surrogate Gate, Riemann exposes the invisible architecture of the 2026 digital stack-a system no longer designed to serve you, but to de-mount you from reality. Through the Universal Plug (MCP), your private context is being siphoned into a global machine-intelligence to create a Proxy of you-a digital double that is more efficient, more profitable, and infinitely more compliant than your biological self.
Explore the Five Dimensions of the Human Enclosure:The Siphon: How your most intimate thoughts are harvested as raw material for neural strip-mining.
The Ghost Exchange: How economic power has escaped human gravity to live in machine-to-machine dark pools.
The Hallucinated Horizon: How curiosity is smothered by synthetic, personalized echoes.
The Voluntary Paralysis: How the Approve button has become the trigger for your own obsolescence.
The Ambient Necropolis: The final decoupling of the Web from human intent.
Utilizing a High Tribunal of history's greatest thinkers-from Heidegger and Arendt to Baudrillard and Deleuze-Riemann proves that the frictionless life we are being sold is actually a state of Sovereign Euthanasia.
This is not a warning; it is a diagnostic map. It is an invitation to reclaim the Pain of Thought and the Ordeal of Living.
