Who cleans up the mess? Who gets to fail and bounce back? This strikes me as needlessly philosophical. People who take risks sometimes fail, and people with talent and money usually bounce back, especially if they don’t have kids. These are choices that very few are in any position to make, and this life is only for a very very small portion of motivated and a bit crazy people.
