An open dictatorship is arguably more honest than a covert one, and hence preferable?
As the names of the main Soviet newspapers, Pravda ("Truth") and Izvestia ("News"), suggested, a popular saying went: 'There’s no truth in Pravda, and no news in Izvestia.'

Sir Isaac Newton was a strange cat
Sir Isaac Newton wrote more about theology than about science and math combined. He was deeply religious and spent a considerable amount of time studying the Bible, writing about his interpretations of scripture, and predicting the end of the world, which he speculated would not occur before 2060. Newton was a member of Parliament, but he only spoke once during his entire term... to ask for a window to be closed because he was cold. Among other things, Newton invented the cat door

Matrix Education
While Mr.Smith types that run the matrix frequently will signal they seeks "creative and innovate solutions and people", in reality they “don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.” (as George Carlin put it). Schooling was not built to enhance creativity and critical thinking, but to shape people for conformity and submission. Despite the loud marketing chatter, AI - that's owned by Mr.Smith - will not change a thing about this dynamic, but likely make it even more extreme.
"The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than cowardly" - Robert Anton Wilson
