And the Dionysian night of the Internet is a way better and safer place for it than the Appolonian day of real life.

Roughly speaking, the Appolinian can be described as the rationalistic, while the Dionysian as the ecstatic.

It's the fun Dionysian night to the boring Apollonian day of real life.

Very little of what you mentioned was unique to dionysian practices and beliefs, so you'd need to have more than the immediate likeness as evidence.

The Dionysian appetites of adtech will be its own downfall.

The Dionysian night to real life's Apollonian day.

In that regard he is a Dionysian figure.

Or more poetic: Dionysian and Saturnial.

Shorter Rao: Just as one hopes to have pudding when one's eaten one's meat; one hopes to have Dionysian contraptions glitching in gaps between the smooth stainless steel surfaces of Apollonian designs?

One has to wonder if he partook: What he saw reminded him of the Dionysian festivals, palpable proof of his theory that the ancient myths and rituals he studied still echoed today.

Nietzsche wrote The Birth of Tradegy back when he was under huge Wagnerian influence (an influence he later renounced), and the duality he introduced there between the Apollonian rationality and the Dionysian irrationality basically gave ammunition to the postmodernism movement.

Calling for “Dionysian Futurism” to counter the sterile, lifeless visions of so-called techno-optimism.

Incidentally a helpful dichotomy in this regard is laid out in Nietzsche's first major work: The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music (he was a superb classical philologist by trade and one of the youngest tenured "Classics" professors at the age of 24): Apollonian/Dionysian [0] > Dancing forces you to be here and now—connecting you with your and your partner’s body.

That and simple information retrieval queries "Glass, define 'dionysian'"; "Glass, when will Jenny's flight get in?"; "Glass, what's the surface area of the Sun?" will by themselves make glass worthwhile for me.

However, I don't think what he implies as the solution to indulge in our "Dionysian" souls, to go back to traditional public discourse of civic's, arts and humanities before permeation of Internet is viable either - as art imitates life, so does tech caters to it to the tyranny of A/B testing.

There is also another distinction in human nature described by Nietzsche - the Appolinian and the Dionysian.

Dionysian mysteries were popular in large portions of the Mediterranean at the time.
