I don't think any of them want to be LOST - not in the way i intended. My read: some of them prefer being physically lost because they were already aware of being LOST before the crash. The island offers them a chance to do things differently which they embrace. Others are not aware (in denial) of being LOST, so they don't embrace the physical parallel of the situation, nor the opportunity it presents.

I do think the island presents unique challenges to each that makes them challenge previously errant ways. The role of "the others" in seeking the children and those who are good fits with this theory, as does the Dharma project (requires them to practice an act of world preservation once every couple hours - brainwashing with behavioral reinforcement).
