  We need to think of some then!

  How about:

  “On average, the chances of you dying in the next week are only .1%, so buck up!”

  Nah, comforting people is a form of social interaction. We are social animals and that helps us to survive bad situations. No magic in that.

    Social interaction is magic. You have an organ for creating special waves that transmit your thoughts into other people’s heads? That’s just telepathy. Language is a superpower. And it only works because everyone believes a bunch of vibrating air molecules can have meaning, which is some spiritual woo-woo.
