The arguement goes like this:
-I am here in my body
-I am here in my house
-I am here in my hometown
-I am here in Colorado
-I am here in the United States
-I am here on the earth
-I am here in the universe.
Considering that all these statements are true, where am I not? Is it logical or not?

"There." You can not be here and there at the same time.

Sounds like the little blue dot theory...
You're in college aren't you?
Basically... Everyone is right smack dab in the middle of own heads. Only collectively, and in direct relation to everyone else's head.
Chew on that for awhile...Then,
Close your eyes and try and imagine the actual size of the space inside your own mind.

I think the statement, we are "here" in the universe is problematic. It is ambiguous. The universe is all that there is. We clearly are not located in all that there is. We humans inhabit a particular spatiotemporal part of the universe.

Goodness this goes back to philosphy days at UMKC, it would be under the evil genius plot. It is logical, psycologist won't agree, but it is.

Yes , this is logical and true...
However..
You are at only one specific point, that point occupied by your physical body, in the space time continuum.

We are here everywhere we go.
We are somewhere in the middle of everywhere.
It is not logical to assume that we are everywhere at once.

You're not at many places at one time. Everything you listed is merely a subset of the greater whole.
