hmmm whats the context here? can you elaborate a bit on why he says this? technical progess can only proceed from centralization?

I don't think this is true

I agree with you

What is the level of centralization?

Linux and Bitcoin have their development cores, but they also have a decentralized side.

I think those are great counter examples to the effect he identifies, which is nevertheless generally true
