The world would be a better place if Whitehead was the new meme. We could have a beautiful society if Whitehead was the new meme. We have a moral duty to make Whitehead the new meme.

As a constituent of experience, 'objecthood' and permanence must be preserved in our highest flights of abstraction, i.e. when we do metaphysics.
From Process and Realtiy, Chapter 10, titled 'Process':
>"That 'all things flow' is the first vague generalization which the unsystematized, barely analysed, intuition of me has produced...Without doubt, if we are to go back to that ultimate, integral experience, unwarped y the sophistications of theory, that experience whose elucidation is the final aim of philosophy, the flux of things is *one* ultimate generalization around which we must weave our philosophical system.
>...
>The elucidation of meaning involved in the phrase 'all things flow' is one chief task of metaphysics.
>*But there is a rival notion, antithetical to the former*...This other notion dwells on the permanences of things--the solid earth, the mountains, the stones, the Egyptian Pyramids, the spirit of man, God.
>The best rendering of integral experience, expressing its general form divested of irrelevant details, is often found in the utterances of religious aspiration. One of the reasons of the thinness of so much modern metaphysics is its neglect of this wealth of expression of ultimate feeling. Accordingly, we find in the first two lines of a famous hymn a full expression of the union of the *two* notions in one integral experience:
>Abide with me;/ Fast falls the eventide.
>Here the first line expresses the permanences, 'abide,' 'me and the 'Being' addressed; and the second line sets these permanences amid the inescapable flux. Here at length we find formulated the complete problem of metaphysics. The philosophers who start with the first line have given us the metaphysics of 'substance'; and those who start with the second line have developed the metaphysics 'flux'. But, in truth, the two lines cannot be torn apart in this way..."
