In general I agree with this observation...but I'd like to clarify that it is POOR, BAD or downright wicked government that rests on the ignorance of the people and desires people to be dumbed down.
To take this position might seem to be supporting the absence of any government which would be anarchy.
There is such a thing a good benevolent government; it can just be hard to find, when people have given away their moral base.
