blindest

Least able to perceive

Blindest is the superlative of blind—the most unable to see, literally or figuratively.

Physical blindness rarely takes superlatives, so blindest usually appears in figurative contexts: Even the blindest optimist could see the project was doomed.

It suggests willful ignorance or extreme obliviousness: He was the blindest of all to her obvious manipulation.
