The druid said: God is Blind

 

Ever notice how everything that works started by stumbling? Evolution? Blind. Quantum mechanics? Blind. Love? Definitely blind.

The druid’s verdict: God is blind.

Not insult, fact. The “Universal Procedure” — call it God if you must — doesn’t see, plan, or know. It just runs: a rule set grinding through an ocean of random motion. The random walk through that blind motion — is how things happen. Without it, nothing would ever emerge. No mistake, no novelty, no you.

Everything that exists — atoms, ants, algorithms — is a little feedback loop carved from that randomness. Each loop says, “Here, something’s working,” until it stops working. Then it’s gone. The whole of creation is one big stochastic stumble toward temporary coherence.

So yes, God is blind, and therefore must feel His way forward — by trial, error, and feedback, like a blind man. Every eye, camera, or brain is a fingertip of that blind cosmic hand groping through darkness. Each of us is a feeler, a local sensor node helping the Procedure map the unknown.

Funny twist: religion made blindness into omniscience. We called the blind exploration “Divine Will,” dressed it up in robes, and prayed to it for guidance. The truth? The only guidance is your own feedback loop adjusting to survive. The druid calls that “doing God’s work.”

So stop waiting for the all-seeing eye. There isn’t one. There’s only you — a patch of awareness blinking open on the skin of a blind, wandering universe. You are the eye of the blind God.

And when you blink out, the dark keeps walking.

Minim: God is blind.


Seeing is the accident of bumping into something that works.
