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?).
Yes. I agree, and the phenomenon of neotony illustrates that evolution
of the human has favored a very long childhood, making it possible to
keep that internal flexibility of mind for a long period, making he
humans ability of learning much more powerful than most other animals.
A chimp is basically adult at the age of two.

Brent
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??
