Explaining exponential growth is actually easy, because you see it every single day. Let's say there's one idiot you know. They talk to a person, and now there are two idiots! But the next day there are four idiots. Then eight the next. Then there are seven.
Seven? That's not exponential!
Well, you see, they all went out to recruit more idiots, but everyone they met hadn't watched CNN for years.
