If you environment does not look very goal-rich, you have an opinion on how it is different from a goal-rich environment, i.e. you have a model of a goal-rich environment. Find a decent real-world match for that environment, move there.

Or find other people with risky-both-ways goals, and work for them if you like either the goals or the people, preferably both.

But I'm not sure "risky both ways" is a good metric to look for. A life of crime fits this criterion, while violating a couple of other criterions that I assume you hold implicitly.
