(Possible add/replace links: Whitehead? Mengying Li and Aifeng Ma?  Post-critique conflict de-escalation and restorative justice?  Whitehead as Trojan horse for New Era Mao Zedong Thought Questions?  Whitehead and experience (Dewey, Pater), crisis of Whiteheadean CCP Study Centers in Chinese Elite Leadership Training, Crisis of Experience for the Paris Olympics 2024 with La Joconde as its Allegory, Whitehead as incorrect in re Leonardo's work on flow, process, experience, nature, the All, and so forth?  On purpose?  Crisis response, role of experience in democratic transitology, cell phones and daily experience in Wuhan per Guobin Yang.  Did Whitehead misread Leonardo and La Joconde as non-flux, non-experience, Bacon too.  Ken Burns' Leonardo film due out Nov. 2024.)
