I'm looking for a book that will help me confirm my suspicions about discourse. I've been thinking that there is some innate, compelling force that demands contrarianism, but only contrarianism for egotistical purposes. For instance, the majority opinion is "Ulysses is great," so for vain, self-exempting ends individuals start arguing "Ulysses is shit" until that becomes the popular opinion, and then it repeats "Ulysses is great" "Ulysses is shit" etc. ad infinitum. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I guess I'm looking for philosophical definitions of "edge."
