Eyes Wide Shut

The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
--Morpheus (The Matrix)

There is little question that our dependence on government is increasing. Energy, security, environment, food.

As the state provides for us, we gradually forego the liberty we once fought so hard to attain centuries ago.

A general cycle from liberty to control has repeated many times throughout human existence. Based on historical evidence, how will this present cycle likely end?
