Ethics and aesthetics are, among other things, methods of knowing oneself.
"Know yourself" is, famously, good advice.
But knowledge of oneself, of this type, is not scientific knowledge. It is not empirical, quantifiable, or repeatable by distant researchers. It is also more than mere opinion.
Knowing everything there is to know about physics while NOT knowing oneself would be a poor choice of values.
