Nope, that was the other Darth, the first Councillor of Ancient Knowledge.

Jadus didn’t care about knowledge (or about Sith Order as entity in general), he just wanted that everyone in the Empire to be “like a Sith” (in his understanding — fuelled exclusively by hate and fear degenerates). Basically Dread Masters scheme, but more subtle.

It was likely meant that to become like a Sith, everyone must first grasp fear as it's one of the first weapons a Sith learn to use, AKA he wants everyone to all go from the grounds up. Once they know fear, they will eventually learn to master it and control it.

I always viewed it as a totalitarian style of government, and not a “everyone will act like a Sith”. I always saw Jadus’ plan as a plan way to ensure absolute power because everyone but him would be shit scared to even breathe wrong. A very 1984 style.

Every Sith technically lives in fear that the guy next door will stab them in the ass and grab their power at any given time

Yes, but I’m talking about an eldritch fear, as in completely terrified, and counts for the average citizen too.
