I've had a lot more luck with a distinction between 'right' and 'good'.

What was your motivation for this distinction? Also, can you summarize the progress you made?

In person some time, I've already bitten off more than I can chew with my 'memes are real, dualism is correct' meta-contrarianism elsewhere in the comments. Sorry Anna...

Tangentially, the usual distinction is that 'right' applies to actions and 'good' applies to states of affairs, with some slippage.
