I disagree entirely. Working your brain daily can help to keep your intelligence and even increase it just a little. However, as you say people can 'learn' anything. This makes them educated and not intelligent. There's an awful lot of very well eucated dumb people in the world. Most intelligent people are born that way or at least develop it during childhood. Education != Intelligence.
