No, not all emotions are of the biological level, though they all need the 
biological level,  and of course the levels are overlapping and 
interrelated. But I do think that greed could be seen as a biological 
pattern, the basic drive for survival is greatly benefited by it. But when 
the social level comes along, it is important that it (the social level) can 
get this under control. Similarly it would seem to be the intellectual 
levels mission to, when reshaping social structures, to direct this drive at 
something intellectually Good. Ideally though, the MOQ will show the need 
for balance, because of course the intellectual level cannot build only for 
intellectual Good, that has been the problem before, there must be a MOQ 
perspective.
