Its an interesting question--whether we are producing these types or their opposite in greater numbers. When taking risk and failing becomes fetishized, is it still actually 'risky'? Most people on wall street take exceptional risks--but with very little downside to their personal social status and often none of their own money. So, in a sense working for a big shop is 'risky', but in another it is one of the most conservative of paths.

However, I find people in general have always gotten upset when it comes to criticism. I find myself getting upset when it comes to criticism, even though "antifragile" is my tendency and ideal. I just don't think most people are wired to take harsh criticism and big risks. Wonder if there are studies out there on the matter?
