“I know something you don’t know” is one of the most elementally effective sentences in our language. It’s a blatant hook for attention, so instantly powerful that even small children set it to a taunting little tune and dangle it in front of each other in the playground. We’re hard-wired by evolution to seek out gossip and rumour, to thrill to the disclosure of a secret, and to strengthen bonds by trading confidences. From the mead hall to the boardroom, early access to useful information has long been the key to success and even — in dangerous times — to survival.
