Who says? Is truth some sort of cold hard facts of the world, absent of any aesthetic quality? It seems to be that in order for man to desire truth, Truth has to be something desirable. It has to be a thing of beauty, for us to desire to know it.
As i recall you believe in objective morality, in moral truths. Yet moral truths are fundamentally aesthetic in nature. They are which move us to act, absent of their beauty we wouldn't be able see them at all.
Do you think beauty you see in things like kindness, in goodness, is just purely in your head, and not in the reality outside it? That beauty of kindness is something you give to a thing, and not a possession of that which is being observed?
