According to Chapter 17, what are the characteristics of a 'dull-witted' person, and why do they choose the path of Preya?

Chapter 17 portrays a 'dull-witted' person as one who is conquered by Preya, the path of pleasant worldly experiences, due to a fundamental lack of discrimination and detachment. Such individuals are described as being caught in the cycle of maintaining their body, cattle, children, and wealth. Their senses crave worldly objects, and they have an obsession with material gains and sensual pleasures. The chapter states that even when the choice between Shreya (the good) and Preya (the pleasant) is within their control, their lack of wisdom makes the right choice difficult, causing them to embrace Preya. As Chapter 17 clarifies, this pursuit of immediate gratification at the expense of long-term spiritual well-being is a hallmark of ignorance.
