Stop strawmanning me. Even CD made this strawman of me too, saying that the OP is not an existentialist claim, I'm not addressing existence.
I've already said repeatedly it's not even possible hypothetically, I'm not talking about existence, I'm talking about hypotheticals. No hypothetical can be described that isn't a hypotehtical being described. Therefore no hypothetical can be described that doesn't contain its own identity therefore no hypothetical can be described where A=not A. Therefore the law of identity applies to all hypotheticals. And now you've moved the goalposts by presuming the law of identity and moved onto addressing 2+2=5 rather than admitting that the law of identity is necessary in all hypotheticals. So now I'm having to explain to you why 2+2=5 violates the law of identity and even if you accept that you won't understand the relevance until you accept that the law of identity must apply in all hypotheticals, and so by violating it 2+2=5 can't be so in any hypotheticals either, and so the OP can't possibly be describing what he thinks he is describing.
