Human brains have difficulty reasoning about exponential growth.

They keep saying that. I'd say it is more like human brains that don't remember high school math have trouble with it.

If something at rest is accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2, how long in seconds will it take to reach 10% of c? Answer to the nearest order of magnitude - will it take approximately 1000, 10k, 100k, 1000k seconds?

I’m sure you know this is an exponential growth question but have no intuition of the answer.

		That is a linear growth problem whose answer is very easy to intuit.

		You must be joking. A high schooler with a few hours of physics classes can intuit the answer.
