I wouldn't argue for ignoring moral implications in general; just they can't be truly universal by application.

I can apply them universally. I can't make others do that.

Yes but even so, that merely makes them "moral" to you.

There's a quote 'Making things better never means better for everyone, but worse for some'. Sorry for interjecting, just wanted to say that

Of course. People who currently benefit from unfair advantages lose them if we level the playing field.

'The first will be last and last shall be first?' It's certainly not a new concept.. a cyclical progression like that suggests a repetition

No. That idea of a reversal goes along with the postmodern idea of reversing hierarchies & does not level the playing field.

Universal liberalism is about levelling. Eg when women began to be able to access professional qualifications as well as men.

I understand but what guarantee that it will remain level? No ideology has ever withstood against corruption and perversion..

This is how I see it too. Once we dive into ideological views on right/wrong, it can become righteousness, and "right" won't stay "right"

That is a different problem again. If an ethical system changes to become unethical, we need to fix it. Not avoid having it in the 1st place

If I've been reading correctly none has suggested to avoid it but to be more observant of what is implemented before we dive in head first.
