I am completely serious. The trees aren't letting you see the forest behind. Yes, LN in its first phase might introduce some sort of "centralization" in that a hub and spoke model will be easier, cheaper and faster to deploy. But:

1- We are talking about L2. I wouldn't have any problem in additional layers more or less de/centralised. You shouldn't too, as they are all optional... just additional layers!

2- That's just at its first stage. It won't be that hard to evolve into a more decentralized structure some time later.

3- Rerouting a big amount of tx's to those (maybe) more "centralised" layers will free up more "space" for direct blockchain tx's.

... And, above all, it will be the best digital payment system ever known to man... Invest now, wait for it, and then fucking sell all your BTC for more shiny metals if that's your thing. Do you have some ethical (or mental) problem getting profits for your investments? No wonder you hate Jews so much. They don't fucking care about all those irrelevant details.
