According to [[Peter Sloterdijk]], the Dionysian and the Appolonian form a dialectic; they are contrasting, but Nietzsche does not mean one to be valued more than the other.

| - | The dichotomy is a major theme in [[Michael Pollan]]'s book, "[[The Botany of Desire]]" in which he details man's attempt at controlling nature through large-scale production of food crops. He argues any attempt to bring control to a single variable in a natural system only results in more variables to which disorder and entropy will reign. Thus, all control is partial, temporary and largely illusory. Some farmers accept this and use strategies like crop rotation, variety and secondary crops which complement their main crops with beneficial insects and such. Other farmers try to sustain monocultures, which is the ultimate attempt at order among chaos, and must depend on chemicals or genetic tampering to defend encroaching disorder. Farmers who embrace the chaos are usually far more successful and less beholding to corporations, but can't match the production or homogeny necessary to supply restaurant chains. | + | |

Phono-semantic matching (PSM) is a term in linguistics that refers to camouflaged borrowing in which a foreign word is matched with a phonetically and semantically similar pre-existent native word/root. It may alternatively be defined as the entry of a multisourced neologism that preserves both the meaning and the approximate sound of the parallel expression in the source language, using pre-existent words/roots of the target language.
