WTFAYBOA?If I have two pennies, does that mean you deny the existence of one of them because they are very subtly different? They are still both pennies, and the original statement of 'I have two pennies' does not require the group to be resolved any deeper than them being pennies. i.e. It doesn't matter if one is freshly minted and the other has been buried in the garden for a decade they are still pennies. I do in fact have two pennies.
If you don't believe in numbers, you won't be wanting those pesky numerals in your bank account will you? I'm sure I can help there.

from a non human point of viewThere is one roughly shaped cylinder and a diferent one
the human mind uses groupings to understand the universe but when looked at is just further divisions of the same group
so you have one penny and then you have another one. not 2

I haveone penny then another one? Another what? Penny? It would appear that you too use human groupings. Heh! Keep meditating ;)
By the same token, this philosophy could be extended to reject the entire universe because any attempts to understand it are purely human mental models.
The only option is catatonia. I recommend alcohol.
