Only because I'm conditioned to the language we use in this universe.
Nope. The Law of Identity holds in all universes regardless of whether any beings exist to conceptualize it or not.

It doesn't matter. Whatever it's like it's like something it has some identity. And that implies the truth of the Law of Identity.

This is where *I* keep being strawmanned. The whole point is I don't give a crap what the hypothetical is nothing can be hypothesized at all without first implying the truth of the law of identity
There can be no hypotheticals or premises without the law of identity first holding. The fact that you can describe any hypothetical or premise at all already implies the law of identity.
