Regardless of whether people currently think so, being happy would be preferred by happy people who have gotten over their hangups about it.

And how do you know this?

Actually, let me ask you a different, more basic question. Are you making a statement about reality or are you just redefining happiness to mean "whatever people prefer" so that your claim becomes a tautology?

Also, consider this statement: "Regardless of whether people currently think so, being high on heroin would be preferred by people high on heroin who have gotten over their hangups about it."
