Ideas are fragile things. Most don't live long outside of the ether from which they were pulled, kicking and screaming. That's why people create with someone else. Two minds can sometimes improve the odds of an idea's survival but there are no guarantees.

John Donne (1572-1631).
"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
