I'm fine with us not being located in our bodies. So where are we located? And why would you say "I don't believe anything broadcasts or transmits consciousness" when you just described precisely that with the robot analogy?
If I understand idealism correctly, everything is mindstuff. That means that what I think of as my "mind" is mindstuff, but so is what I think of as my body. What does it mean, then, to say my mind is nowhere but my experiences are located with my body?
