1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
constructing a modified natural language processing (NLP) engine, the constructing comprising:
enabling the NLP engine to extract, from an input comprising a first content including a first assertion, a plurality of knowledge blocks;
configuring a computational module to operate with the NLP engine to compute a metric corresponding to a first knowledge block in the plurality of knowledge blocks, the metric evaluating a corpus of content against the first knowledge block, wherein the computational module causes a behavior of the NLP engine to adjust the metric using a half-life hyperparameter on a consensus detected in the corpus;
further configuring the NLP engine to dynamically determine a contrarian view expressed in a corpus of content by comparing the metric with the first knowledge block and identifying the first assertion as a contrarian assertion, wherein the contrarian assertion is an assertion that has a contrary correlation with the consensus detected in the corpus; and
causing a presentation device to visually associate an indication of the contrarian assertion with a portion of the first content.
