Evolution is guided in the same way that a river is guided by its banks. These are natural processes informing the shape of evolutions to come. Since nature has no sight, there is no sense in which natural selection- the real name for your "fitness paradigm,"- is not blind.
Though to be honest, you're kind of arguing against a metaphor here. It's a bit silly.
