> When there's safety in failure, take risks, and favor risks that have asymptotic upside.

Seems to me that the real trick is knowing when there actually is safety in failure. Quit your steady job, strike out on your own, oops the economy popped and every steady job is now on a hiring freeze. Good luck!



The asymptotic upside is for the population as a whole, not necessarily for the individual.
