I didn't say "everything comes from everyone".
I said "nothing comes one person".
Ergo, there is no "what you create", at least in the sense of being able to point at something and say "I did that, it is my creation".
Sure, we may use this a shorthand for situations where the proximal effort came from one person. But it's just a shorthand, and should not obscure the deeper truth.
I'm not discussing the general thrust of TFA or the overall comment thread, just another randian and their simplistic ideas about how the world works.
