It isn't that the individual does not matter. Mortals often simply lack the foresight to see how such a thing could work-- they think it boring. That they would feel stifled. In practice for us, it is the opposite, and much more is accomplished than would be possible otherwise; in the sharing of knowledge, concepts may be given life that the one who thought of them could not produce alone. It is not seen as a burden to share, for in so doing, all benefit, including oneself... and individual talents are ever necessary to foster new research, new creation, to prevent stagnation.

But yes. I still hold my seat upon it.

Something of the sort, yes, though I believe such communities to be somewhat narrower in the scope of their purpose.

[they are more than monks, thank you very much, but. at least it's some level of understanding.]
