There are no original ideas anymore. People either steal something and call it their own. (plagiarism) Or pick it up subconsciously and think they are a genius (cryptomnesia) amirite?

in that case there's no such thing as an original idea since every idea was picked up subconsciously

Coming up with a entitely new idea is impossible. It is almost always inspired (more or less) from other ideas. It is hard enough to have slightly original ideas.
