Goff's Limited God: A Neat Solution, or a Deeper Trap?

Have you ever felt it? The sense that our universe is perfectly calibrated for life, only to be struck by the random, brutal suffering within it?

Philosopher Philip Goff offers a bold solution that's gaining a lot of attention: what if God isn't all-powerful? What if the universe's "messiness" is due to God being fundamentally limited?

On the surface, it's an elegant way to make sense of a world that seems both designed and broken. But what if this popular solution isn't a solution at all? What if it creates new, perhaps even deeper, conceptual traps?

In my new video, I put Goff's "Limited God" hypothesis under the philosophical microscope. I introduce a thought experiment I call the "Two Blueprints Dilemma" to test whether this idea truly holds up to scrutiny.
