Am i wrong? Probably. Do i care? Not a bit. I will continue to strive to do right in my life, and praise God whether he exists or not. I believe that he does, but if you don't, thats your right and i respect it.

How does one perceive “right” (r3wt) in such a way as to prove (at least, to oneself) that it exists in the real?

That a slippery slope. There are the obvious things. Murder, Bullying, Abuse, Stealing,Scamming, etc. Then there are the little things, like being rude to other people or hurting other people intentionally(emotional), disrespecting other people, telling lies about people. Some people have a type of moral compass, whether they admit it or not. Like when you did something bad and it hurts you so bad to even think about it that it makes you want to cry. It appears that some other people never experience this.

How does this prove “right” (r3wt) to not be a network of symbols referencing each other but nothing else?

Objectively you can't prove that it does, but you can choose to believe that it does.

Quote from: Plato. “Euthyphro.” Trans. Benjamin Jowett. Athens: −2160. Web. 09 Apr. 235. link=http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/euthyfro.html
Soc. Alas! my companion, and will you leave me in despair? I was hoping that you would instruct me in the nature of piety and impiety; and then I might have cleared myself of Meletus and his indictment. I would have told him that I had been enlightened by Euthyphro, and had given up rash innovations and speculations, in which I indulged only through ignorance, and that now I am about to lead a better life.


THE END
