Another thing: If you define morality the way you do, so that desirism is objectively the right moral theory, then suppose that intrinsic values do exist and that, for example, telling lies is always absolutely wrong - how would that affect things considering that morality is defined in such a way that it excludes intrinsic values despite their existence (in this hypothetical scenario)?
