“Don’t worry, just about anyone can steal your soul and there’s nothing you can practically do to stop it”

That doesn’t seem like a message of solace to me.

>> Maybe we can find solace in the fact that is or will soon be infeasible to avoid, so we needn't try to avoid it.

It's the meager solace of the absolution of personal responsibility - there's no way to avoid it, so at least no one can say "why did you allow that to happen to you".
