That's describing what is, not what the title claimed is needed. We need people to build inspiring things and take risks. The fact that many older people aren't in positions where's comfortable or easy to do doesn't mean that it's not needed. One could also make the argument that many 'older' people also tend have have more disposable income and savings to bootstrap their own ideas, have larger networks of people reach out to for connections, etc, and often may have many of their life stuff behind them (kids, house, etc). Therefore there's many older people who are in a better position to be risky than a young person. The 'risk' factor is all relative, of course, with people at different stages of life.
