All these clips tell me something about how work is in the Free Agent or Natural world.

Good work often starts by accident as a situation attracts strangers. As in the Magnificent 7, the money is often derisory - what brings the team together is personal attachment and the need to find meaning. Good work also has the power to make good people out of us.

The Barn building scene (watch for Viggo Mortenson in his first role) is for me an example of a much older "Economy" than the one that we live in today. Here the implicit payment is that every member of the community can expect help, if they in turn offer help. Is this not Open Source? See also how everyone is a participant - especially the children. As with the 7, differences are resolved by people here who do good work with each other.

Finally, the clip form the 13th Warrior, reminds me that we all die "Paupers". The only riches that extend after death are our name. To have a name, we have to have had a life so that there are worthy stories to be told about us.
