I will now present something that supports my whole worldview which supports and objective (intrinsic) good and bad. Positive thoughts have to line up with positive emotions and negative thoughts have to line up with negative emotions since positive thoughts make us feel positive emotions and negative thoughts make us feel negative emotions. From there, value judgments of good value make us feel positive emotions such as thinking it is a good day today while value judgments of bad value make us feel negative emotions such as thinking something is horrible. So, you have a positive thought which is just a positive thought and then you have a positive emotion which is intrinsically positive like a positive charge.
You then have a negative thought which is just a negative thought and then you have a negative emotion which is intrinsically negative like a negative charge. To take it one step further, you have a positive (good) value judgment and then you have a positive (good) emotion which is intrinsically good. From there, you have a negative (bad) value judgment and then you have a negative (bad) emotion which is intrinsically bad. If a good or bad value judgment did not make you feel a positive or negative emotion, then there could be a number of factors as to why. Other than that, they do make you feel positive and negative emotions. Even if these positive and negative emotions were induced by other means such as drugs rather than thoughts, then they would still be intrinsically good and bad emotions.
Lastly, positive emotions would be feelings such as joy, love, and excitement which are states of mind induced by the brain's biochemicals (serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins). They would be states of euphoria. Negative emotions would be feelings of dysphoria such as a feeling of sadness, despair, anger, or misery. Having no emotions at all would be like having no charge at all. It would be a completely neutral lifestyle where you are neither motivated in a good way by a positive emotion nor motivated in a bad way by a negative emotion.
