<note tip>
The motto in this section is: //the higher the level of abstraction, the better//.
</note>

<blockquote>Given how the natural log is described in math books, there’s little “natural” about it: it’s defined as the inverse of $e^x$, a strange enough [[basic_tools:exponential_function|exponent]] already.

But there’s a fresh, intuitive explanation: The natural log gives you the time needed to reach a certain level of growth.
