If you can take multiple large, failed, risks without ending up on the street then you have immense privilege.
It's hard for most people to "learn from their failures" and keep taking "big" risks, unless the risk to their own life circumstances was never actually that "big".
I don't think it's immense privilege. Like when Zuckerberg started Facebook he was 19. When I was 19 I lived with my parents and had almost no costs. I also just partied and didn't even try to start anything.
