Is Blindsight some kind of cool science fiction thing that I should know about?
Reproducing and taking resources from other agents are enough to cause the apocalypse. If sapients band together to notice and eliminate resource-takers, they can prevent this sort of apocalypse. To do so they will essentially create a singleton, finally ending evolution / banishing the blind idiot God.
