I would really hesitate to make sweeping generalizations comparing the risk-return profiles of different periods in history. This is like trying to summarize all uncertainty (risk) of the entire world at a point in time into a single number: futile and meaningless.

From a genetic or cultural propagation and growth definition of risk and return, I think it is pretty clear that in 2018 America there are few activities where risking physical destruction (death) can pay off. You might agree that this is an unusual situation(last 50? years) in the history of humanity?
