That’s a shame. He had been speaking a lot about preparing for death.I really like some of his radio phone-in audios from the early 70s. They show his best side: empathetic, sensitive, gentle, providing helpful advice and accepting of people.I sometimes heretically think that if you ignored some of his guru and “gee-wizz” miracle stuff (which wasn’t to my personal taste), he was a great therapist of any kind - religious or non-religious.

RIP Richard Alpert
xp I don't think that's heretical at all, he always renounced any idea that he was a guru or even remotely close to "finished." He readily copped to having a schtick—that really he was just a Newton, MA jew who was lucky enough to be lit up by psilocybin and then to find a guru of his own.
He was also smart enough, where Leary wasn't, to grok that acid was a cul de sac. Instead he parlayed the experience into a spiritual mission, which he also knew (and warned adherents) could act as a trap. He spent the last decades of his life woking with dying people, and now he's joined them.

Don Imus was king until Howard Stern blew him out of the water. Imus scrambled ever after, courting favor with NY/DC insiders who felt that Imus gave them street cred. They tolerated his racism until it became too much. Lesson? Keep your racism on low. Don't be obvious. pic.twitter.com/zp8xMGu4Xy— Dennis Perrin (@DennisThePerrin) December 27, 2019
