gossip

The gossip that "feeds on sporadic and superficial reading" by Nathan Jones

The average understanding of the reader will never be able to decide what has been drawn up from primordial sources with a struggle, and how much is just gossip. Moreover, the average understanding will not even want such a distinction, will not have need of it, since, after all, it understands everything.
