Not something you want to be true

Here I'm not sure what "not something you want to be true apply to"?

So, that when you are college educated, and some institution has declared you graduated and a learned member of society, if you turn around and say: "I choose not to believe this emergent scientific consensus, no! you don't have that option! It's not how objectively, established scientific truths are determined. It is true whether or not you believe in it. And in retrospect you think, maybe that's what you should base legislation on, not something you want to be true, or feel should be true, or it's something that you don't allow to be true because your religion prevents it, or because your political philosophy prevents it. You don't have that option! If it's an objectively, established truth. And like I said earlier, that is the entire point of the scientific enterprise.

something you want to be true

Maybe:

I will never die. / I am rich. / Everybody loves me.

Which of those statements are true? Is there one that you think should be true? One of which you can say, "I want that statement to be true"? One that you want to be true?
