No misdirecting, calling you out on it.

Also, strictly speaking from the point of logic - yes you can in fact create wealth in a vacuum. Greater participants have greater capacity for wealth to be certain. However it is also certain that a solo person can start naked and alone and from there find seeds.

Plant the seeds in rows hoed out with a fallen branch and start farming. Tame animals, divert water for irrigation, build shelters.. and yes, create all sorts of wealth entirely in a vacuum. In fact at one point wealth had to be created in a vacuum, from nothing, or else we would never have achieved any sort of wealth.

A well ordered society can in fact provide a beneficial ENVIRONMENT that is more suited to creating additional wealth. You would be correct to say that it is more conducive to create certain types of wealth in the USA than in say, Somalia.

But your usage of that fact, and your comparisons were utterly irrelevant for the topics at hand, and you were also incorrect to state that wealth can only be created within society.

You probably also think of Society as an entity unto itself as opposed to the inter-workings of a great number of individuals as well - if I had to guess from your past writings.

But anyhow, now that we have hashed out the vernacular a bit - lets get down to the logic please.
