You are right that a lower level may affect (see my answer to James )
a higher one, but I want to keep the MORALITY clear. Each and
every morality's 'raison d'etre' is to free itself from the lower
morality's limits. Life is to "point nose" at Inorganic (death), and
this basic task will not be changed or affected by Matter.
Something quite different is that changes in material conditions
(food etc) may have grave consequences for a local or temporal life
form, or as in your example of the the AIDS virus effect on society.
The term "profound" I keep in reserve for deeper metaphysical needs
:-)
I have this urge to get to the mountain top of big vistas when
details threaten to overwhelm me. Earlier on you said something
about being alone with the MOQ for so long and now swimming in it! (a
little note of regret?). I sympathize with haven't not quite got used
to meeting so many unfamiliar views and angles.
