Sometimes, people overthink things. Kant is no exception.

Take for example prime numbers. In this or any other conceivable universe, 41 and 317 are prime numbers. Nothing will change that fact. Again, sorry Kant

True, true. I wonder how the old guy would have delt with that. He probably would have started with the term "conceivable".
By the way, do you know the story of the two twin bothers, inmates of an asylum for the mentally deficient, who amused themselves by telling each other prime numbers of incredibly long digits. The story is so crazy, that it is probably true. I have been trying to find out its source, but so far in vain. It is obvious that they never had any education of any sort, their knowledge was kind of beyond their ego, their self, and that could indeed point to the Kantian "absolute truth".

True, but more often than not folks tend to overthing think.
