What is a Meme?
The ever reliable and interesting Alex M leads us all to an interesting site that explores the value of "intentional community."
The page delivers a nice summary of the core issues.
Spend some time in the Hypertext Bazaar, you'll be glad you did.
I especially liked the video (from TED) posted 1.31.08-- the story about the grandfather really helps explain what elders are all about...

This is great! I had no idea about the meme of which you speak. It's very interesting to think about.
The TED video reference to the guy's grandfather provides some valuable insight, as well. His influence was subtle and lasting and it's good to see this being ackowledged. I had a similar experience with my own grandmother who was with us until age 96. She was a powerful influence in my life - a mentor extraordinaire!
Best,
Mimi ~ :-) ~
