It is called "There is no debate"



"Good for you friend, you worked hard you did the deed, and you see  
the fruits of your labor.

Now tell me, your father, did he invent his own number system? No?
Did he invent his own alphabet? No.
Were the laws of physics that his branch of engineering is based upon,  
discovered by him?
Did he invent the math system behind it? The algebra, the calculus?

No?

Well hey, at least when you published your book, you probably did so  
on a machine completely of your own design. Using a printing system  
you invented. No?

Then maybe it wasn't all your work. Maybe, as I said, you and he are  
standing on the backs of the people who came before you. How much have  
you reserved of your profits for them and their families? Nothing?

Then perhaps you need to drink a warm cup of Shhh! and think upon your  
lessons grasshopper. Cause unless you and your father sprung out of  
Zeus's forehead fully formed and full of the knowledge of life, you  
owe a lot of your success to a lot of people that you haven't yet  
given shit to."
