Oh tirlesss one... I can't let you get away with that!
1) Brain and Mind are not synonomous in my book
2) activity takes place in a socio cultural nexus, in which a subject is a
part of the activity... so activity* does not take place in the brain alone.
*activity: I don't mean the firing of neurons etc. I mean "human activity",
