Exponential growth, otoh, is quite a regular feature of nature. Rabbits boom and bust. Single cell algae transforms a newly formed pond within days, followed by exponential growth of organisms that like to feed on it.
Then our infinite growth economy is like an invasive species that has taken over the planet. Hunting resources to extinction, growing ever larger and all-encompassing, heating up our planet with its metabolic cycle of fossil fuel extraction and burning.
