For me it boils down to a need to explain and understand what isn't known in the absence of knowledge, and to infer something personal (that we are "privileged") behind it because as supremely conscious beings, we internalize everything. So there HAS to be more than physics and chemistry because physics and chemistry are impersonal. It's also why pseudoscience has a strong appeal. It's personal, it's about me.
Except... that isn't true of pseudoscience in general. What does Homeopathy have to do with
you actually? As Ben Goldacre has constantly pointed out, homeopathy is actually a more reductionist theory than most of current science. Unless you mean it in a very vague and effectively meaningless way that as consciousness is the foundation of our existence, pseudoscience come from consciousness... which is..... banal.
Like most genetic/neurological arguments of religion that are popularly made, it seems like good evidence of good old predestination.
