In the realm of the blind, the king has one eye.

"

Now, when you think of a "realm of the blind" as a metaphor for something, some organization, some community or agency or system, what comes to mind? As a metaphor, it seems to imply a system of people who cannot "see", who have little wisdom, little sense, little trustworthy direction. And then Erasmus plays out the metaphor. In such an organization or system, the leader, the king is the one who can "half see". One step up from no insight at all makes one the king. " Bob Patrick
