    Hi Grant
    I believe that memes are the fundamental elements of our 'social contract'
    (glue). In our Western culture they come from ancient oral tales which
    cemented values and atitudes into a social culture. "We need each other for
    survival" is an early meme. Memes, for me, are then encoded into narratives
    and transmitted intergenerationally.
