The only thing that would convince me would be a whole new personal experience since it is my personal experience in the first place that has convinced me of this worldview. It would require a new mental state that can replace the good value, joy, beauty, and happiness I have had in my life through my positive emotions. Remember, this has to be real good value, joy, beauty, etc. in my life and not just empty words. If they are still empty words, then my life would still have none of those values. Therefore, I would look inward and pay close attention to my inner universe. If my life really is filled with real joy and good values independent of my positive emotions, then I would be convinced I am wrong. If not, then I would still have this worldview.
