a given circumstance, but not necessarily adaptable to new circumstances.
But Bruno says something can be intelligent without being competent,
No, he says competence has a negative feedback on intelligence; meaning that when you
learn to be competent at some task you stop thinking about it and don't learn anymore. He
equates intelligence with ability to learn, so by his definition an infant is more
intelligent than an Einstein (isn't it amazing how kids learn a language?).

and that doesn't make one particle of sense to me. It can solve difficult and novel
problems but it can't solve easy problems that it sees all the time??
