(I apologise, Angela, if in the course of this argument, I misrepresent your view, and would be happy to be corrected. We might actually make more headway if you and I discussed the point.)

Simplifying, then, she seemed to be saying: I am happy, therefore my worldview must be, or is likely to be, philosophically sound.

Like Descartes' "I think therefore I am", Angela, to me, appeared to be making the argument "I am happy, therefore I'm right (in my general view of life)". Now, of course, I may have taken the wrong meaning from her words, but I don't think anyone except an imbecile could not see how such a meaning could be construed from them. I certainly was not twisting her words.

Now, I wanted to express my opinion that I saw a logical flaw in the above, that we cannot take our happiness as indicating that we have a correct worldview.

I cannot answer for Angela, but if I'm feeling good, if I am happy, I don't care whether my worldview is "correct" or not.
