"Even if you were to find out unequivocally that your world view was wrong you still would refuse to give it up."

If her worldview was wrong and all existence was pointless, what would be the point in giving up her worldview since all views would be equally pointless? If existence is pointless, then so is your question. Why would anyone labor to answer a pointless question? If the universe has a point then your question is irrelevant (again pointless). There must be a name for this fallacy, but, if there is, it escapes me. Maybe it is so irrational it has no name. (The fallacy of the pointless point?)

Then ndt’s claim to know the truth is pointless as well and so would *living in reality*.

Well someone who values the truth would be able to answer fairly quickly. Yes, even if it destroys my world view, I want to now how things really are, not how I think they are.
