To explain like two fundamental rules (we can make wrapper types, and do flatmap) I will:

- Write 5 paragraphs setting up an imaginary scenario involving fantasy elements of aliens, dragons, and a magical kindom where they speak using message boxes

- Introduce basic category theory by starting with what a functor is

- Explain all the effects of a monad in such general terms that it basically amounts to anything and everything - since a function can be anything and do everything and it's just function composition

- Write some snippets of Haskell, and just assume that you're familiar with the syntax

- Talk about how delicious burritos are
