Try to find the "you". It cannot be located.

Of corse it can't be located, it's the thing doing the locating.

If it was a "thing", it would have a location. But, it is no thing and it is nowhere. No "you".

I guess that means the laws of gravity aren't a 'thing' then, and also don't exist.

Gravity is a force. It can be measured. Force = mass x acceleration.
There is no self. It cannot be located nor can it be measured.

It can be measured in that it can affect change in the world through action.

How is it measured?
1
Same way gravity is, through observation and inference.
People act without being acted upon. Action must originate within the subject.
Subjectively, I think (therefore I am), and I act in accordance with, or contrary to, what was thought prior.

How is it measured? What is measured? You keep dodging the question. You have a metaphysical belief in a thing called a "self". It's a belief, not a fact. What unit of measurement is used to define this illusory "self"? Give me the formula.

Self is the way by which all measurements can and are made. No measurement could be made aside from via the self.
Its capacity to measure is the proof of its existence.

You might as well put magical thinking like god and fairy dust in the mix. "God is the way by which all measurements can be made." Yada yada yada. Blah blah blah.

You seem to be actively trying to not understand me, so I must assume this topic is emotionally salient for you and will further this conversation no more.

Nothing emotional about what I've tweeted. You have no evidence to back your claim. End of story, indeed.
