I do see where you are coming from. As society is able to consistently and effectively meet a tier on hierarchy of needs or morality evolves to provide greater value for the tiers above it. Where we get a lot of conflicted morality when one group of people has move into the top 3 tiers on the need pyramid and another group is still trying to figure out the psychological and safety needs. When the more advanced group tries to apply their morality to a group that's still trying to meet basic needs it does them no good because while their esteem and emotional needs are met, they might end up dieing from starvation (whoops).
