I've been stewing over this Richard Alpert thing a bit. Having a degree in psychology, I can't help it. I knew he was partners with Timothy Leary, and one of my favorite books is Leary's "Flashbacks". I haven't read it in years, but I went to look up Alpert in it, and thus copied one of the chapters with Alpert references. I've enclosed it as a PDF file.
Dunno what it all means, but somehow I think the Leary stuff relates. I don't spend a lot of time with the theories, but Lost just conjurs up a lot of similarities to the whole Hallucinogenic Experiments era.
So, do with it what you will. I also referenced Leary in the Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Leary
and found a lot of Alpert in there, as one might expect, as well as their "projects" thru Harvard, et al.
