That word can be defined however anybody wants, and that is the definition of subjectivity. Something which is intrinsically good is good without being defined so by somebody-- and there's no such thing.
Sure, you could define good however you want to. But the question is, how do you perceive that good value? It wouldn't come about through simply acknowledging it. Rather, it would come about through our positive emotions.
How fucking dense are you? I may know it's the right thing to do not to cut in a line but it's going to piss me the fuck off if I'm in a hurry and the jacktard in front of me is plopping down pennies one at a time to pay for their purchase. Being good because you understand the practical necessity of order and rules and morality doesn't mean you're going to feel good about it.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
