I do not see how the impulse toward truth is ethical. Either there is no impulse, or it is natural, but it is not a question of volition.

I think it is interesting that you cannot see that, and it probably reflects the structure of your self. (No moral judgement involved.)

I think it comes from looking at my own impulse towards truth and seeing that it is innate and egotistical (not in a bad way necessarily).

I mean, do you think there are people who only favour truth because they consider it an external obligation?

All minds favor truth to some degree (otherwise they'd go psychotic). Sociopaths will perceive truth in communication as external obligation

As always, every normative impulse is prone to bias the null hypothesis. I think she acts in good faith.
