I guess he’s saying: fast forward a few years and there’ll be a two speed lightning network.
One permissioned, surveilling all users, and censorable.
The other, slow and barely usable, but ‘free’
In a way that already happens. The entire economy already functions on a network that is independent from the LN.
Sure it sucks that I cannot use lightning in my local grocery store but I can still get value from it by using with whoever is on the network.

And the entire economy is surveilled and tracked. Bitcoin was aiming for peer-to-peer and if we can’t use it in that way, instead having to rely on intermediaries to send payments then we’re back at square one
