Well, to me there is no such thing as "intrinsic" concerning concepts resulting out of human thought. All we create, from moral values to social, economic and political concepts have nothing are the results of thought rater than "of higher decent" (if I understood you correctly).
I can understand how this may seem frightening at first, but it also gives one curiosity and motivation to participate in this endless journey of finding truth through thought. We define rightousness and right and wrong, through what we considere to be the best for our society - and the fact that we thereby determine our own desteny and lives is to me something grand, that stands way above being dictated laws and codes by a authoritarian being whos claim to power is a fascist claim of supiriority.
