Again, I repeat, we are not located anywhere. I regard that the location of selves ultimately doesn't make any sense.

And why would you say "I don't believe anything broadcasts or transmits consciousness" when you just described precisely that with the robot analogy?

It was not an analogy. It was a thought experiment showing that our conviction that we are located within our bodies may not reflect reality.

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?

Your experiences are
not located within your body.
