Ive never understood what a Monad is or why I should care. I still don't care to learn category theory or whatever but I was wondering, if there is a single image/diagram which will convey the idea behind monad? I recently stumbled on such an image which made the concept of simultaneity of SR click and I'm intrigued in other things I could never understand suddenly becoming crystal clear with a single image.
