Who would want what? Education or stupid people?

Barely anyone wants education, it's hard, boring, and seems largely useless when you're in school.

Basically anyone in a position of power wants stupid people, from politicians to corporate suits (well, at least for the consumption of their trinkets; they may need a few smart people to produce said trinkets).

A fairly recent trend seems to be that people nowhere near positions of power also disparage education for reasons that baffle me. It used to be the #1 tool for upward mobility and it still is, but apparently it's now more appealing to remain dumb and poor than to put some effort into moving up.

This is why I don't think the OP's suggested effort would do any better than the existing sources of information. Anyone who is willing to spend more than 15 seconds and can consciously decide "now I'm going to learn something new" already knows where to find what they need. All others... horse and water problem.
