I like that, this is another Nietzsche idea right?
I didn't write this, it's from this strange and lovely Substack writer:

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).

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.
