Government will just follow what the public wants, gov is not one person, it doesn't have a free will to plot against humanity like that. It's not of any individual (corrupted) politician's interest to make people stupid. They're interested in power and money for ther short term of their service.

Actually, organizations like corporations or especially states have their own psychology.

Even the biggest corps in the world usually have their strategic decisions centralised with a few clear goals (all hav something to do with the bottom line). Gov on the other hand are ejuggled between different political interests, election timeline and public interest which it's supposed to care for is neither clearly defined nor as narrow as a corp.
