Are we all idealist yet? ...
No, at least not in the sense that a 'God' is needed to support those ideas that are not sourced from us, i,e, perceptions.

And yet in Philosophy it's been argued that 'is' is not a predicate so you cannot use it this way. You appear to think symbols exist before the things?

We could but there'd still be things that are in none of our minds.
I'm puzzled by why earlier on you said you had proved 'God' exists or did I read this wrong?
Thats why i said step by step...we're getting there.

But you used it implicitly in your proposition.

The part that seems to be perception.
Perceptions have something to do with concepts. As soon as you think of that part of whats being perceived that you think has nothing to do with concepts it cant help but have something to do with concepts .
heed this riddle well ..for in it lies the path to the truth
IF ONLY CONCEPTS EXIST..WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF A TREE BUT A CONCEPT OF A CONCEPT OF A TREE AND THAT ALSO IS A CONCEPT OF A CONCEPT OF A CONCEPT OF A TREE
So Ultimately a concept of a tree is meaningless. But what of the concept "ultimately" ..if it is also ultimately meaningless then we can never reach ultimatality. so there is no meaning in the construct.Even within the regress.
