The Spiritually Numb Person
Commentators explain that the "brutish man" or "fool" is not someone of low intelligence, but one who lives by animal instinct and appetite. Governed by their senses rather than faith, they are spiritually numb and unable to perceive God's greatness in His works. As one scholar notes, their moral sense is overgrown by sensuality, making spiritual insight impossible.
