No. It's good, although risky, advice. In my life, the two single biggest factors involved in making me more empathetic were 1) powerful psychedelics taken with healing intentions 2) a loving, long term sexual relationship with a very empathetic girl.
To all interested persons: Please read the following review paper about MDMA's use for psychological healing. There are many wonderful papers that can be found in the references list as well. Pay close attention to Greer and Tolbert. http://psy.swansea.ac.uk/staff/parrott/parrott2007-MDMA-Psychotherapy-Psychopharmacology.pdf
