You don't have to know of them for them to be objective. They're true regardless of what anyone thinks or has awareness of.
You're confusing ontology and epistemology and truth and knowledge.

Minds aren't always reliable or rational. They're often unreliable and irrational. But they can also be reliable and rational... and that's when they correctly follow objective lines of reasoning and logic.
2+2=4, all squares have four sides, all bachelors are unmarried and our minds can't possibly be mistaken about those truths. That's a few examples right there.
