We should stop using the grains of rice on a chessboard or doubling lily pad examples. To explain exponential growth just cite 2020.
Fine, fine geometric, to be precise.

It’s easier to believe outlandish but comprehensible lies about Bill Gates and 5G than stretch your mind to accommodate exponentials. What’s happening is so hard to wrap your mind around, it’s easier to be a crackpot.

We forget the universe has many big, fast processes that we simply don’t encounter very often. We equate large scale with slow, creeping change. We are treble creatures. Frequency domain flatlanders. We don’t expect sudden bass impulses.
