What you are referring to is the Dionysian thinking pattern. He seems crazy but he is not, a divine child and, in the right moment, a frightening murderer. And you are right, we need it more than anything right now.
I think there should be a balance between Apollonian and Dionysian individuals in the society. But right now Apollo dominates too much and this is the result. Everyone's like a robot.
Thanks for the write-up.
I like that, this is another Nietzsche idea right?

Oh, Thank you for sharing it then. Yes, I think the first person who mentioned it is Nietzsche.
He also mentions The Overman which I think is somebody who has managed to balance Dionysian and Apollonian qualities in themselves. I believe it's almost impossible to balance them in one person, thus the name overman (superman basically).
