I will give my opinion on 1 and all the numbers in general.

Number 1 as a symbol on the screen is free from all meaning. We ourselves give meaning to it and see it as a representative of something that we might imagine 1 is pointing towards. Why would number one have any inherent value? Also, we can't exactly count objects in the universe. Is atom one or made up of lots of smaller parts? Where do we put a boundary between one object and another object? We can't use numbers to simply quantify some objects without having complete knowledge of what that object is.
