I can only imagine that there is a universe which exists irrespective of my perceptions. I still say that if we define "1 + 1" as 2, then ipso facto, it is 2. 2 is 2. A is A. It's tautological, but it's true, and can't be anything else.

Correctness itself is a human concept. I can imagine a universe that would be internally consistent where 1 plus 1 did not equal two. It wouldn't be the universe I am subjectively perceiving at the moment, but it could exist, maybe it does exist. Now go a step further. Do you admit that perhaps it exists in this universe, on this planet, in the minds of other living things (dolphins, perhaps)?
