If you can't conceive of your conceiving of it, whence is the conception of it?
In other words, if you
really weren't in a universe conceived, how would you have access to conceptions of such a world?
Conceptions of universes without you are still dependent upon the actual, real existence of your mind. So you're not
really conceiving universes that don't contain you.
I can conceive a universe without
you, because my conceptions aren't dependent on the existence of
your brain. But I cannot logically conceive of a universe that does not contain myself. Logic and conception is ontologically dependent on a logician and conceiver, namely, me. No logician, no logic. No conceiver, no conception. A universe without me as a percipient necessarily excludes me from it, including anything dependent on me as related to said universe (my imaginations of it).
