The consequences of it are, and not understanding the nature of exponential growth also creates risk in itself (in the form of severely underestimating risk).

If you're hoping people would care about the topic because of risks....I kinda would hope that risk could be conveyed beyond "risk".

An example of exponential growth being a risk would be the risk of societal backlash when blue collar work is automated away at a large scale.

And to GPs point, those reaping the rewards of the growth are not those impacted by the first or second order effects.
