What exactly do you mean by pseudoscientific? The article was not really presenting a scientific claim. What we saw was a story about a person who did thing X, experienced thing Y, and is now describing his experience while thinking about what it might mean for someone else. Where does science come into the picture?

You sound like one of those annoying fellows who would dismiss the works of Dostoyevsky as pseudoscientific, or the music of Beethoven as hogwash. Get out of your limited perspective every once in a while and see that there exists a whole world out that that does not require classification in mathematical models to appreciate.
