I had this discussion last night with nostr:nprofile1qqs2a6z08rggz9fa76xr8mjzx5yrwrymt5x3j4vg7v4mqdfv02v298qpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0l324pz& another pleb.
If resilience is important, we need to resist the temptation to centralise coordination.
As you say it's much more efficient to centralise but then things become more fragile & open to corruption/capture.
Empowering others to be their own leader is a more chaotic & resource consuming path. You end up with diverse & resilient systems with few single points of failure.
