In this provocative first volume, Saudi thinker Ibrahim Al-Blihi argues that humans are fundamentally 'automatic beings,' not the rational creatures they believe themselves to be. He posits that our actions, beliefs, and decisions are overwhelmingly dictated by deep-seated cultural programming and inherited traditions rather than conscious, critical thought. Al-Blihi challenges readers to recognize this cognitive inertia and embark on a path of self-awareness, breaking free from the unseen prisons of custom and dogma. This work is a compelling call for an intellectual renaissance, urging societies to question their foundational assumptions and move from automatic response to deliberate engagement.
