This seems a bit odd to me. 

The Apollonian faculty is purely aesthetic, in that it creates from the chaos of the world dream images which we need to function. Our perceptions are aesthetically produced by this faculty. I suppose we could say that morals are a part of this production. 

The Dionysian is aesthetic in a different way, since it allows us an honest vision of the chaos which the Apollonian conceals. It isn't quite direct, though, as the only way we can see the chaos and survive is through the eyes of Silenus, the satyr chorus, etc. 

Without making me watch a YouTube, can you clarify what this YouTuber had in mind? Thanks.
