Also, vertebrate eyes (left below) have a blind spot because the nerve wiring is routed in front of the retina and needs a path to get out of the eyeball, so there’s a spot with no photoreceptor cells where all the fibers run out.
It doesn’t have to be this way - cephalopod eyes (right) have the nerves running out the back of the retina so they don’t need a pass-through hole.

Well you are also not omniscient
If we are copies of God, and God has this same blind spot, that would explain so much about our species and why it’s so fucked up.

Wut?! It’s not bc nose bridge or whatever?!
No, it’s basically a cable routing issue. It could’ve been planned better.
This understanding is a gateway drug to atheism
100% yes.
